ABSTRACT: Although there have been many reports of small bone and vertebral involvement in sarcoidosis, long bone pathology is rare. We report a case of almost identical bilateral fractures of the proximal femoral diaphysis during separated in time through a low-energy mode of injury, and explore the difficulties encountered when seeking radiological and tissue diagnosis.
