Nodular Sarcoid Myositis Treated With Hydroxychloroquine Monotherapy.

Clinically significant granulomatous inflammation of skeletal muscle in sarcoidosis is rare. Glucocorticoids are generally considered the first-line treatment of sarcoidosis, but due to their side effect profile, the addition of steroid-sparing regimens has become increasingly more common. We report a patient with nodular sarcoid myositis who was successfully treated with antimalarial hydroxychloroquine alone. Whereas antimalarials have been reported to be an effective treatment of various organ involvement in sarcoidosis, to our knowledge, this is the first report of hydroxychloroquine monotherapy successfully treating nodular sarcoid myositis. Hydroxychloroquine monotherapy may be a reasonable initial treatment option for nodular sarcoid myositis and other forms of muscular sarcoidosis, as well as for other non-acute organ-threatening manifestations of the disease.
