title: Tenosynovitis as initial diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Case report.
abstract: An otherwise healthy 29-year-old man presented with an 18 month history of a slowly growing tumour on the dorsoradial side of the left wrist. Microscopic examination showed sarcoid tenosynovitis, which is a rare initial presentation of sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis should be considered in patients with tenosynovitis and tumours in the hand.
