Abstract

Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune granulomatous disease that can affect any organ system in the body. Ocular and orbital manifestations are relatively common. Osseous involvement is rare and usually involves bones of the appendicular skeleton. We present an unusual case of an erosive sarcoid granuloma in a 48-year-old woman that involved the orbital apex. This case highlights diagnosis, treatment, and the importance of full systemic workup to determine the extent of the disease.
