Drug-Induced Adverse Reactions

The association of soft tissue and bone sarcoidosis in the hand and wrist is rare. Two cases of sarcoidosis, 1 with involvement of the distal radius and both flexor and extensor tendons in the wrist and another with tenosynovitis of 2 fingers associated with phalangeal osteolysis, are reported. Both patients were surgically treated by tenosynovectomy. The importance of the systemic corticosteroid therapy is emphasized.
