title: [Fasciitis in granulomatous myositis--an atypical manifestation of sarcoidosis?].
abstract: We report about two female patients with a histopathological proven granulomatous myositis associated with a fasciitis. One patient showed noncaseating granulomas in the muscle fascia. She suffered from symmetrical contractures of the digital flexors and ankles. The second patient showed uveitis and polyneuropathy, too. In addition, increased activities of the angiotensin-converting-enzyme and lysozyme in the sera suggested that both cases represent a new form of sarcoidosis.
