Myositis and myopathy of sarcoidosis: A case report

Abstract

Muscular manifestations of sarcoidosis are commonly found on biopsy but rare on correlated imaging. We present a rare case of a 36-year-old male patient with sarcoid myositis and image findings of active myositis in the lower back and pelvic girdle musculature. This case suggests considering sarcoidosis as a differential diagnosis in the setting of chest findings and new lower back and lower extremity weakness.
