Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease in which medullary involvement is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation. We present the case of a 37-year-old man with right abdominal and dorso-lumbar pain lasting for months. Computerized tomography showed renal microlithiasis and retroperitoneal, hilar and mediastinal adenopathies. Laboratory results showed an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, IgG, ?2-microgobulin and angiotensin-conversion enzyme, serum calcium in the upper limit and hypercalciuria. There was a slight elevation of the CD4/CD8 ratio in bronchoalveolar lavage, without lymphocytic alveolitis. An endobronchial ganglion biopsy was inconclusive. A positron emission tomography scan demonstrated supra and infra-diaphragmatic, splenic and medullary involvement, suggesting lymphoproliferative disease (LPD). A bone marrow biopsy (BMB) revealed sarcoid-like epithelioid cell granulomas, excluding LPD. Sarcoidosis was assumed and corticosteroids were started. Although cytopenias were not present, the extensive ganglion, splenic and medullary involvement made LPD exclusion imperative, while BMB allowed for a definitive diagnosis.

An association between lymphoma and sarcoidosis was first suggested in 1960. We report a case of sarcoidosis-lymphoma syndrome, which is a diagnostically challenging condition. We conclude that an associated lymphoma should be considered in all patients with suspected sarcoidosis, especially those who do not respond to treatment or who present with persistent haematological abnormalities. Splenomegaly should prompt splenectomy to rule out lymphoma if a less invasive approach has failed to confirm the diagnosis.

Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic fungal infection seen in immunocompromised individuals. It is caused by the yeast-like fungus Cryptococcus and predominantly affects the lungs and central nervous system. Immunocompetent individuals very rarely develop bone involvement and only a few cases of cryptococcal osteomyelitis in patients without other comorbid conditions have been described. Only one other case of pelvic involvement, which was accompanied by lymphopaenia, has been reported. We describe the case of a 42-year-old immunocompetent man with cryptococcal hip osteomyelitis.
