    What's your diagnosis?

    It has some kind of immunological cause.

    I'll post the correct answer in a few days!

    Correct answer:

    Sarcoidosis arthropathy.

    There are lytic lesions present that are consistent with sarcoid granulomas. In this patient, elevated ACE and ESR levels confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was treated with corticosteroids.
