We report a case of a 57-year-old woman who presented a rapidly progressing swelling at the base of her right 4th finger, with imaging revealing non-specific lesions suggestive of a malignant tumoral process. Following imaging, resection-biopsy revealed a non-caseating granulomatous inflammatory infiltrate suggesting sarcoidosis. Digital sarcoidosis is an uncommon presentation of the disease, especially in the early stages and without systemic symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are advised in order to prevent future complications.
