Bilateral ankle pain secondary to sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis has been described as a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology that usually affects young adults. It can affect the foot and ankle. When erythema nodosum is present, the sarcoidosis usually is characterized by bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, uveitis, fever, arthralgia, or arthritis. This symptom complex is referred to as Löfgren's syndrome. The author describes a patient who presented with bilateral medial ankle pain secondary to sarcoidosis.
