We present two cases with a rare association of sarcoidosis and clubbing. Therapy with prednisolone could not control the progress of interstitial fibrosis nor could clubbing be reversed. Both patients expired 5-1/2 years after diagnosis which suggests that clubbing, when present in sarcoidosis, may signify an unfavourable prognosis.
