Patients with sarcoidosis have an indolent course in which the disease is not detected unless seemingly benign symptoms appear. Such was the case in a 42-year-old man who was referred to the orthopedic service for evaluation of a slowly enlarging mass over the left wrist without prior history of trauma. In this article, we will review the symptoms and histopathology of sarcoidosis with a particular focus on orthopedic manifestations of the disease. We believe that clinicians should be aware of these associations so that patients can be diagnosed and treated accordingly.
结节病患者的病程呈惰性,除非出现看似良性的症状,否则疾病不会被发现。一名 42 岁的男性患者就是这种情况,他因左腕部逐渐增大的肿块而被转诊至矫形外科,此前无外伤史。在本文中,我们将回顾结节病的症状和组织病理学,特别关注该病的矫形表现。我们认为,临床医生应该了解这些关联,以便对患者进行诊断和治疗。
