Radioisotope bone scanning in chronic osseous sarcoidosis

Clin Nucl Med. 1996 May;21(5):371-4. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199605000-00004.

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is rarely recognized as an osseous manifestations alone. Patients with osseous involvement usually have a chronic multivisceral form of the disease. The authors report a case of osseous sarcoidosis without other visceral involvement. A bone scan was requested to evaluate the extent of the bone involvement and explore buttocks pain.
