Bone Marrow involvement of Sarcoidosis, Case Report

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disorder and most often involve in lung, rarely may present with bone marrow involvement. Hematologic anomalies can be determined in patients with bone marrow involvement, but it is not a rule. A 47-year-old woman patient having complaints from backache, difficulty in walking and weakness in bilateral lower extremities admitted to our hospital we detected bicytopenia and lesion in L2-L3 vertebrae. Patient was operated. After pathological investigation of lesion we diagnosed bone marrow involvement of sarcoidosis. Lung and the other organs systems were normal. A-74-year-old woman patient having complaints from malaise and fatigue admitted to our hospital, we detected pancytopenia and vertebral lesion than we applied bone marrow biopsy from the lesion. After bone marrow biopsy we diagnosed bone marrow involvement of sarcoidosis. In other investigations lung involvement with mediastinal lymphadenopathy was detected and the other organ systems were normal. Here we presented two cases diagnosed with bone marrow involvement of sarcoidosis which is seen rarely.

Sarkoidozda kemik iliği tutulumu, Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Sarkoidoz sistemik granülomatöz bir hastalıktır ve en sık akciğerleri tutar, nadir olarak kemik iliği tutulumu ile seyredebilir. Kemik iliği tutulumu olan hastalarda hematolojik anormallikler saptanabilmektedir. 47 yaşında bel ağrısı, yürümede güçlük ve çift taraflı alt ekstremitelerde güçsüzlük şikayetleri olan bayan hastada bisitopeni ve L2-L3 vertebrada lezyon saptandı. Hasta opere edildi. Lezyonun patolojik incelemesi sonucu sarkoidoz tanısı kondu. Yapılan diğer incelemeler sonucunda Akciğerde sarkoidoz tutulumu saptandı. 74 yaşında halsizlik ve yorgunluk şikayetleri olan bayan hastada yapılan tetkiklerde pansitopeni saptanması üzerine kemik iliği biyopsisi yapıldı. Kemik iliğinin patolojik olarak incelemesi sonucunda sarkoidozla uyumlu non-kazeifiye granülom saptandı. Yapılan diğer incelemelerde başka bir tutulum saptanmadı. Burada nadir görülen kemik iliği sarkoidozu saptanan iki olguyu sunduk.
