Iliac bone defects revealing systemic sarcoidosis.
Bone lesions are fairly uncommon in sarcoidosis (5 to 10% of cases). We report the case of a 40-year-old man in whom sarcoidosis of the lungs and bones was revealed by excruciating buttock and sacral pain. Computed tomography showed multiple punched-out defects in the left iliac bone. No similar cases have been reported in the literature.
