Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. The granulomas are non-caseating, and the organs that are affected most frequently are the lungs, the skin, and the eyes. However it may also involve the liver, spleen, bone, nervous system, and other organs. The diagnosis is based on the identification of noncaseating granuloma in the tissues involved, excluding other granulomatous conditions. The diagnosis of sarcoid joint disease is often made in ret rospect and only when the lung or eye is involved. We report a case of sarcoid synovitis in knee joint with review of literature.
