Osteoarticular involvement in a series of 100 patients with sarcoidosis referred to rheumatology departments.

Abstract

SR was the most frequent manifestation leading to hospitalization; it was characterized by oligoarthritis and polyarthritis and associated with interstitial lung involvement. Osseous involvement occurred in a quarter of SR patients with similar frequency of erosions targeting the distal small bones and osteitis. These latter occurred at a later age.
