Rare manifestations of sarcoidosis in a young boy

Sarah Nalliannan, Shyamala Jayamoorthy, Mahesh Janarthanan.

Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a chronic multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. It is rare in young children. A 9-year-old boy presented with failure to thrive, skin rashes, persistent fever and respiratory symptoms since 5 years of age. Blood investigations done showed elevated serum calcium and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) levels and biopsy of the rashes on the left shin revealed non-caseating granulomatous lesion. Computed tomography (CT) of chest revealed interstitial lung disease (ILD) and examination of eyes showed bilateral uveitis. He also had sensorineural hearing impairment, nephrocalcinosis and short stature. The patient was treated with oral steroids and mycophenolate mofetil. At follow up there was improvement in his systemic features including rashes and arthritis. Early detection, diagnosis and appropriate treatment of sarcoidosis are vital for disease control and to avoid morbidity.

Key words: Sarcoidosis, non-caseating granulomas, sensorineural deafness, nephrocalcinosis, short stature.
