We report a patient with osseous lesions of his fingers and thumbs that eventually were proved to be a manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis. This had been mis-diagnosed as tuberculosis and the patient had previously been treated without effect with two full courses of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. Eventually the clinical and radiological suspicions were confirmed by biopsy.
