[The bone manifestations in 94 cases of sarcoidosis].
94 patients diagnosed as having sarcoidosis were studied in Galicia in order to evaluate the frequency of bone manifestations, as well as to analyse the clinical and radiological features. Bone lesions were found in 10 patients (10.6%) with a median age of 47.4 years, the predominant sex being female in this group (70%). The lesions were of two types: a) osteolytic on metacarpal (4 cases), nasal bones (1 case), sacrum (1 case), femur (1 case); b) osteosclerosis on femur and fibula (1 case), acrosclerosis (3 cases), metacarpal (1 case). The first lesions were associated to chronic types of sarcoidosis with skin and lung involvements. The second lesions were associated to a sub-acute type of Löfgren. We highlight the behaviour of both types of bone lesions and comment on the physiopathology of the sclerotic lesions.
