Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease that is character- ized by non-caseating granulomatous reaction with unknown etiology. Lofgren's syndrome is an acute form of sarcoidosis, characterized by fever, arthralgia and/or arthritis, erythema nodosum, and bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. Although lung symptoms are clinically dominant, there are an increasing number of cases with dominant rheumatologic symptoms. Herein, we reported a female patient who was diag- nosed as Lofgren's syndrome presenting with bilateral ankle arthritis.
