“…The diagnosis of cutaneous sarcoidosis is based on the clinical evidence of multisystemic involvements, histologic evidence of noncaseating naked granuloma and negative cultures of sputum and tissues [3]. Chest Xrays in our case demonstrated bilateral hilar adenopathy.…”

A 28-year-old woman with sarcoidosis had miliary, skin-colored papules localized on the upper back. The lesions closely simulated lichen nitidus. Histologic examination of the papule demonstrated the naked granuloma encircled by epidermal collarettes in the papillary dermis. Therefore, the microscopic reaction pattern also resembled those of lichen nitidus. This case is a unique form of micropapular sarcoidosis in respect to the clinical appearance and microscopic changes.

“…Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease in which cutaneous lesions are observed in about 25% of patients, typical changes being erythema nodosum, lupus pernio, chronic plaques and subcutaneous nodules; 3 rarely it may produce an ulcerated 4 or verrucose 5 form. Further, an asymptomatic generalized maculopapular eruption which has the histopathological changes of sarcoid has been reported in the literature, 6 tending to be symmetrical and commonly affecting the face, particularly its orifices, the trunk, the dorsum of the extremities and the nuchal area. The lesions are rarely pruritic and may be accompanied by uveitis or early chest radiographic findings.…”

Sarcoidosis, a multisystem disease of unknown aetiology, is characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas which may involve any organ of the body. The commonest sites of predilection are the lungs, skin and lymph nodes. We now report a patient who presented with palmar erythema which on biopsy confirmed the presence of non-caseating granulomas and who responded to systemic corticosteroids. We are unaware of any previous report in the literature of sarcoidosis presenting in this way.
