Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. It can present in various clinical forms. Involvement of muscles is common but isolated muscle mass, the only initial presenting complaint has never been reported. We report a 55-year-old white female who presented with a muscle mass, with no other clinical features of sarcoidosis. She was later found to have hilar lymphadenopathy and muscle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. During clinical follow up patient remained stable without any medical intervention.
结节病是一种病因不明的多系统炎症性疾病。它可呈现多种临床形式。肌肉受累很常见,但仅以孤立性肿块为唯一首发主诉的情况从未有过报道。我们报告一名55岁的白人女性,她以一个肿块就诊,无结节病的其他临床特征。后来发现她有肺门淋巴结病,肌肉活检确诊为结节病。在临床随访期间,患者未经任何医学干预病情保持稳定。
