Tumour-like muscular sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology with variable manifestations, which may affect virtually any organ. Muscular sarcoidosis is a rare entity, and among this group of muscular lesions, the tumour-like muscular sarcoidosis subtype is extremely rare. We report on two sarcoidosis cases that presented muscular sarcoid lesions with subcutaneous tumours.
