- Title
Sarcoidosis of the Skull.
- Authors
Franco-Saenz, Roberto; Ludwig, George D.; Henderson, Lee W.
- Abstract
One of the rarest manifestations of sarcoidosis is involvement of the skull; only five cases have been reported (1-5). Bone lesions of any type are rare, and osseous localization is usually more frequent in the chronic stage, especially when there is simultaneous cutaneous involvement (6, 7). A young man with apparent hyperparathyroidism or hypervitaminosis D proved to have sarcoidosis with noncaseating granulomas in a liver and kidney biopsy. Roentgenograms of the skull showed multiple osteolytic lesions, biopsy of which showed scattered noncaseating granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis.
