Abstract:Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic systemic disease, which is characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in the affected organs. Cutaneous manifestations are frequently the first clue to the diagnosis; however, the clinical picture of the lesions is heterogenous. Here we report on a 66-year-old woman with localized indurations of the skin on both forearms that were diagnosed as a rare morphea-like skin involvement of a systemic sarcoidosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
