Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease that predominantly affects the lungs. It usually presents with fatigue and respiratory findings. The rate of arthritis in sarcoidosis is 15-25%. Arthritis as initial manifestation of sarcoidosis has been reported rarely in the literature. In present paper we highlighted the importance of sarcoidosis and conventional chest X-ray in differential diagnosis of acute arthritis.
