Abstract
- Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology presenting with bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, pulmonary, skin, and eye lesion. Sarcoidosis involving skeletal muscle is rare and occurs in two forms, nodular and myopathic. In the nodular variety, patients have single or multiple nodules in the skeletal muscles. Patients with the myopathic type have myalgia, muscle weakness, and atrophy. To our knowledge, this is the first case of sarcoidosis involving skeletal muscle in Korea. In this report, we describe a 40-year-old man presenting with nodular type of muscular sarcoidosis and stage II pulmonary sarcoidosis. By this case, we emphasize the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of nodular type of muscular sarcoidosis.
