Abstract
We report the long-term result of operative treatment of a flexion contracture of the fingers resulting from sarcoidosis, in which the contracture recurred. Even with complete excision of the granulomatous lesion, a new lesion may appear in a previously healthy area, so a radical cure by operation alone is difficult.
