Sarcoidosis accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis and complicated by sacroiliitis.

We report the unique occurrence of a unilateral sacroiliitis in a patient with active sarcoidosis accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis. Convincing (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 reported cases of sarcoid sacroiliitis is briefly reviewed.
