- Sarcoidosis arthropathy has 2 principal manifestations: acute (resolving/remitting) and chronic (transient/relapsing)
- Acute sarcoidosis arthropathy
- Usually is self-limiting, remitting in 4-6 weeks
- Löfgren syndrome is variant of acute sarcoidosis arthropathy
- Remitting oligoarthropathy
- Manifests early in course of sarcoidosis
- Arthralgias (often bilateral ankles), erythema nodosum, bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy
- Disease clusters are seen in spring/early summer
- Chronic relapsing sarcoidosis arthropathy
- Observed ≥ 6 months following diagnosis of sarcoidosis
- Disease may wax and wane
