Abstract

At the end of assessment of an hypercalcemia with acute renal failure in a seventy year-old man, is discovered a tumorlike muscular sarcoidosis of both thighs whose steroid treatment quickly proves effective. Rarity of such forms urges us to report this observation which allows to remind that, in case of a suggestive picture of sarcoidosis, it is necessary to look minutely for any muscular abnormality.
