In the 36-year period between 1966 and 2002, 514 patients were diagnosed with sarcoidosis at Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty, Istanbul, Turkey, and of these 98 (19.1%) had Löfgren syndrome. The frequency of female patients with Löfgren was higher than the frequency among other sarcoidosis patients (female:male ratio 4.8 vs. 1.64; P < 0.001). Erythema nodosum was diagnosed in 72.4% of the subjects and arthritis or arthralgia was diagnosed in 51%. Erythema nodosum and arthritis or arthralgia were more frequent in Löfgren; however, pulmonary parenchymal involvement was more frequent in other sarcoidosis patients (all P-values < 0.001).

A total of 19 cases of bilateral hilar adenopathy in association with polyarthritis are presented. Erythema nodosum, usually occurring in this syndrome, was not present; however, marked periarticular inflammation of the ankles with little pain on motion was noted and served as the initial clue to the diagnosis. All patients had elevated sedimentation rates; hyperglobulinemia and positive tests for rheumatoid factor were frequently found. A sarcoid reaction was seen in 73% of the patients whose tissue was examined histologically. Diagnosis was established by the radiologic demonstration of bilateral hilar adenopathy. Prognosis was favorable. The etiology of the disorder is unknown, and its relationship to Boeck's sarcoidosis Is uncertaian.
