Abstract
We report the unique occurrence of a unilateral sacroiliitis in a pati ent with active sarcoidosis accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis. Con vincing (clinical) evidence of sarcoidosis as the extremely rare cause of this articular involvement is presented. Discussion is focused on comparison of sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, particularly with respect to their articular involvement, and the literature of previously repor ted cases of sarcoid sacroiliitis is briefly reviewed.
