Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease with unknown etiology characterized by noncaseating granulomas in any organ, most commonly the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of patients with sarcoidosis have an associated arthropathy.
Diagnosis may be difficult when a patient presents with articular complaints alone, so the presence of sarcoidosis is usually established after other organs are affected.
