title: Radioisotope bone scanning in chronic osseous sarcoidosis.
abstract: Sarcoidosis is rarely recognized as an osseous manifestations alone. Patients with osseous involvement usually have a chronic multivisceral form of the disease. The authors report a case of osseous sarcoidosis without other visceral involvement. A bone scan was requested to evaluate the extent of the bone involvement and explore buttocks pain.
