title: [Delayed discovery of vertebral sarcoidosis].
abstract: Vertebral bone sarcoidosis is rare and may be difficult to diagnose. Clinical manifestations are often poor and the discovery can be fortuitous. We report a case of a 64 year old woman whose vertebral sarcoidosis diagnosis was established 20 years after the primary discovery of a cured thoracic sarcoidosis.
