Published: October 2012

In the submitted paper the authors present a brief theoretical account and characteristics of sarcoidosis focused on its manifestations in the locomotor apparatus, found in 10 - 14 % of the patients. The course of this very rare form of sarcoidosis of the locomotor apparatus is demonstrated on a 50-year-old female patient with severe sarcoid arthropathy of the wrist. They draw special attention to diagnostic problems in extrapulmonary forms of sarcoidosis. Key words: sarcoidosis, arthropathy of the wrist, extrapulmonary sarcoidosis.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) of the wrist joint is a rare presentation of extrapulmonary TB, accounting for about 1% of musculoskeletal TB cases. We present a case of wrist joint TB in a 15-year-old immunocompetent male patient.

Extrapulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (EPHG) is a notably rare condition, representing an exaggerated chronic immune response to antigenic stimuli. This report presents the first documented case of intra-articular and tenosynovial EPHG with radiological evaluation and pathological confirmation in a 60-year-old man presenting with wrist pain and swelling. Imaging findings were relatively symmetric with marked distension of the distal radioulnar joints and extensor tendon sheaths with masses and nodules of various sizes surrounded by synovitis and accompanied by bony erosions.

Article Synopsis
  • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis affecting the musculoskeletal system is rare, occurring in less than 10% of cases, and is often associated with the immunosuppressive effects of rheumatological diseases like lupus.
  • A case study presents a 45-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed a wrist mass initially thought to be a giant cell tumor, but was later diagnosed as tuberculous tenosynovitis after surgery.
  • Diagnosing tuberculous tenosynovitis is challenging due to non-specific symptoms and normal lab results, necessitating timely treatment to prevent further complications, especially in immunocompromised patients in areas where tuberculosis is common.

Among extrapulmonary tuberculosis, osteoarticular tuberculosis is a rare manifestation, and cases related to osteoarticular tuberculosis of large joints have been reported previously. However, tuberculous tenosynovitis causing carpal tunnel syndrome is a rare manifestation, especially in the background of rheumatoid arthritis. A 67-year-old Sri Lankan male with a background of rheumatoid arthritis presented with progressively enlarging left wrist swelling associated with pain and numbness for 2 months.
