title: Multiple atypical bone involvement in sarcoidosis.
abstract: We describe a patient with right paratracheal and left hilar lymph nodes detected by chance on chest radiography that followed a spontaneous remission. However, a few months later she complained of multiple scalp nodules. Skull roentgenogram and computerized tomogram scan showed multiple osteolytic lesions with increased uptake in bone and gallium scans. Lytic lesions were also detected in her right mandibular bone and right clavicle. Noncaseating granulomas were demonstrated in skull and cervical lymph node biopsies.
