[Acro-osteosclerosis in the course of sarcoidosis (author's transl)]. 1977

E Godin, and P Capesius, and F Kempf

The authors report two cases of acro-osteosclerosis occurring during sarcoidosis. Condensation lesions involve above all the distal and proximal phalanges of the hands. Comparison of these cases with those in the literature indicates that these particular types of bone changes in association with sarcoidosis are more common than indicated in the studies of Jüngling (occurrence estimated at 54% of subjects suffering from sarcoidosis with bone localisations). This acro-osteosclerosis is however not specific to sarcoidosis. It is seen in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, Hodgkin's disease and other haematological disorders. It has also been seen in normal individuals in X-rays taken at the time of a traumatic accident.
