Sarcoidosis

Bone Mineral Content in Sarcoidosis

“…Subsequent observations are scanty, because indications for biopsy of bones rarely arise in sarcoidosis, since the diagnosis is usually evident without it. In general, the findings have been concordant with Schaumann's description [3][4][5] even if Ricker and Clark 6 were able to find the typical granulomas in the marrow of only 1 of 22 autopsy cases of sarcoidosis.…”

Comparison of Biopsy Procedures in Intrathoracic Sarcoidosis

“…Coincidence of sarcoidosis and Mb. Hodgkin in one and the same patient has been described before (2, 23, 30). Furthermore, it should be mentioned that the two patients who had Mb.…”

“…(38), on the basis of a study including 99 patients with sarcoidosis, expressed the opinion that biopsy is not necessary in patients with asymptomatic symmetrical BHL and in patients with BHL plus uveitis and/or erythema nodosum because the findings are so typical for sarcoidosis. Some authors agree with (13,22,30) and others are opposed to this opinion (8, 11) but there is no convincing information against the statement of Winterbauer et al Our results support their point of view, especially concerning the fact that all the 41 patients, in whom granulomas were demonstrated by biopsy through mediastinoscopy, had asymptomatic symmetrical BHL.…”

Sarcoidosis in India

“…Bone pain due to bone cyst is uncommon (2%) and bone survey is a useless expensive investigation, at least in India. Other joint manifestations, as recorded in the literature, 43 ' 45 are rare. Arthralgia in association with EN has been referred to earlier and these cases also had bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy (Löfgren syndrome).…”
