A Case with Flexion Contracture of Bilateral Fingers due to Muscle Sarcoidosis

Abstract

A 61 year old woman complained of slowly progressing flexion contracture of her fingers. She was diagnosed as having muscle sarcoidosis in both limbs and secondary glaucoma due to sarcoid uveitis. Her right fourth, fifth and left fifth fingers were kept flexed on the palm, and could not be extended. An orthopediatric operation was done to remove the white tight tissues which restricted the movement of the fingers, and her contracted fingers could be extended freely. The resected tissues contained nonnecrotizing epithelioid cell granulomas. We reported this case as a rare case with flexor contracture of bilateral fingers due to muscle sarcoidosis.
