  • Title: [Sarcoidosis: apropos of a case of isolated myopathy].
    Author: de Pree C, Dessibourg CA.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1989 May 09; 78(19):557-9. PubMed ID: 2740674.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 69 year old female, who in 1979 presented with a granulomatous myositis confirmed by muscular biopsy. The histology is typical for sarcoidosis, but tests on other organs remained negative for eight years. Up to 1987, 79 cases of sarcoid myopathy have been published in medical journals, of which 44% had an isolated muscular involvement. We discuss the differential diagnosis, the histology, pathology, etiology and the manifestations shown by the EMG of this rare illness, as well as our patient's peculiar signs.
