Sarcoidosis presenting as multiple osseous lesions.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory condition presenting with the formation of noncaseating granulomas. These granulomas can be found in nearly every organ of the body, but in 90% of cases the lungs are involved. Osseous manifestations are seen in only 3% to 13% of cases and are typically seen alongside the more common pulmonary manifestations. These lesions can be misdiagnosed as metastatic cancer so biopsy, along with clinical correlation and exclusion of other diseases, is necessary to make the diagnosis. Most patients with primary osseous sarcoidosis remain asymptomatic but routine monitoring is necessary to identify progression to lesion growth, cardiac manifestations, and respiratory involvement.
