[An unusual cause of fracture of the femoral neck: bone sarcoidosis].
A case of pathological fracture of the femoral neck in a 84-year old female is presented. The histological examination of the femoral head showed sarcoidosis. This diagnosis was not known before the trauma. Other localisations of bone sarcoidosis were found in the tarsus and the fingers after a systematic X-ray check-up.
