Multifocal osteonecrosis (MFO) is an uncommon and disabling condition. A few cases have been described in association of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We describe 2 clinical cases of patients with SLE along with MFO and also perform review of the literature.

Background: In patients with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), osteonecrosis of various joints is a debilitating complication associated with the disease and its treatment, in which a considerable proportion of osteonecrosis may be asymptomatic. Recognizing the crucial role of early and timely detection, as well as appropriate management of asymptomatic osteonecrosis, in preventing joint destruction, we conducted a study to evaluate the prevalence of asymptomatic osteonecrosis in SLE patients who have already been diagnosed with symptomatic osteonecrosis. Additionally, we aimed to examine the relationship between proposed risk factors of osteonecrosis and the development of asymptomatic osteonecrosis.

Article Synopsis
- - Multifocal osteonecrosis is a rare condition that can cause significant bone weakness and fractures, highlighted in a case of a 34-year-old woman whose symptoms worsened during pregnancy.
- - Investigations revealed the patient had an undefined autoimmune condition and low Protein S levels, along with a novel genetic variant related to Protein S deficiency.
- - The combination of inherited thrombophilia, autoimmune issues, and pregnancy-related changes contributed to the patient's severe symptoms, with her genetic variant potentially explaining the link between autoimmunity and thrombophilia.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease that affects diverse organs such as the lungs, skin, eyes, and brain. Osseous involvement in sarcoidosis usually affects bones of the appendages with direct infiltration of non-caseating granulomas without bony infarcts. Symptoms of sarcoid bone lesions respond well to corticosteroid therapy.
