The diagnosis of cutaneous sarcoidosis relies mainly on the patient's history, presence of characteristic skin lesions and histological examination that shows a granulomatous, non-necrotizing dermal infiltration. The aim of the study was to assess the ultrasonographic features of cutaneous lesions of sarcoidosis before and after treatment. A 38-year-old woman with systemic sarcoidosis and specific cutaneous lesions was treated with systemic steroids followed by hydroxychloroquine. Ultrasonographic examination of the cutaneous sarcoidosis lesions was performed with a Philips iU 22 and Siemens Acuson S 2000 device, with the use of linear 15 MHz and 17 MHz transducers. Histological examination of skin lesions showed characteristic, naked, non-necrotizing granulomas in the upper dermis. Ultrasound examination revealed well-demarcated, hypoechogenic changes. Power-Doppler scan revealed increased vascularity within the lesions and the surrounding tissue. Clinical improvement of the skin lesions was confirmed by ultrasound examination, which showed a decrease in their size and normalization of dermal echogenicity and vascularity. Ultrasound examination can show cutaneous sarcoidosis lesions and their regression after appropriate treatment.

“…Granüloma annülare (GA), iyi huylu, etiyolojisi bilinmeyen, inflamatuvar bir dermatozdur. Histolojik olarak, dejenere kollajeni çevreleyen ve palizad özelliği gösteren histiyositlerle karakterizedir (1). Lokalize GA en sık rastlanan form olmakla birlikte, jeneralize, perforan ve subkutan tipleri de vardır (2).…”

Granuloma annulare is relatively common idiopathic disease of dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It can be observed of all races and ages, but it effects woman more often (2:1). Widespread granuloma annulare, diffuse but symmetrically located occurs as papular or annular pustules composed of more than ten and often hundreds of lesions. Because of the rare occurrence of common granuloma annulare cases with photosensitivity distribution, we present a case of a 49 year-old woman who had generalized granuloma annulare on the neck, dorsal aspects of the hands and extensor surfaces of the arms showing photosensitive distribution and that responded well to topical and intralesional steroid treatment.

“…Granuloma annulare is an inflammatory dermatosis characterized by dermal palisading granulomas with central collagen degeneration that usually presents on areas of trauma. Penile involvement is rare [1][2][3][4][5][6] (Table 1). Clinically, GA of the penis occurs as single/multiple firm and skin-coloured subcutaneous nodules without genitourinary symptoms.…”
