Background: In this case series, we present longitudinal imaging surveillance of 6 cases of osseous sarcoidosis, each of which was effectively treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibition.
Methods: We identified 6 patients from Brooke Army Medical Center with osseous sarcoidosis, who were treated with TNF inhibition and followed with longitudinal imaging studies. Cases of osseous sarcoidosis were defined as having pathologic evidence of noncaseating granulomas on bone biopsy and evidence of osseous lesions on imaging attributable to sarcoidosis by the radiologist, treating clinician, and reviewer.

Skeletal involvement occurs in only 3%-13% of cases (1), making diagnosis challenging. We present the case of a 63-year-old female with a 1-month history of inflammatory bone pain and multiple lytic and blastic lesions.
