Typical Jaccoud’s arthropathy in a patient with sarcoidosis

Abstract

Jaccoud’s arthropathy (JA) is a deforming, non-erosive form of arthritis initially described in rheumatic fever but recently observed more frequently in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. However, cases of JA have been described in association with other diffuse connective tissue diseases, neoplasias, and infection. We describe a rare case of sarcoidosis in a female subject who developed JA in her hands later in the course of the disease.
