[Strong metatarsal pain and localized bone lesions in a physically active male (clinico-pathological conference report)].
With the exception of a previous history of pulmonary sarcoidosis, a previously healthy 38-year old man developed a sudden unilateral metatarsal pain and gradually progressing osteoporotic, partly lytic metatarsal bone lesions. The patient received a bisphosphonate treatment. Clinical and radiological situation began to improve during the follow-up observation. The diagnosis was based on clinical picture.
