Abstract

Sarcoidosis of bone lesions are rare, with an overall incidence of 3-9% of the cases. When they do occur, they are more frequent in the small bones of hands and feet than in long bones, spine or skull. We report a case of a male patient with sarcoidosis with multiple enlarged lymph nodes, skin and bone lesions, and the scintigraphic findings.
