Abstract

Bone sarcoidosis is uncommon, and involvement of the temporomandibular joint is exceptionally rare. We report an unusual case of mandibular condyle sarcoidosis in a 51-year-old Japanese woman that manifested as a temporomandibular joint arthritis. The patient was referred for a chief complaint of a painful temporomandibular joint and was initially diagnosed with temporomandibular joint arthritis. However, a more detailed examination revealed bone sarcoidosis in the mandibular condyle and the progression of preexisting cardiac sarcoidosis. Oral steroid treatment (tapered from 50 mg/day to 5 mg/day) appears to have been successful over a 1-year follow-up.
