Nail dystrophy in chronic sarcoidosis.
We report details of five patients with nail dystrophy associated with sarcoidosis. All had bone cysts in the underlying terminal phalanx and had a chronic course of the disease. Radiological examination is indicated in patients with sarcoidosis and nail dystrophy as bone cysts are frequently asymptomatic.
