ABSTRACT
Sarcoidosis is a chronic idiopathic disorder characterized by the accumulation of noncaseating granulomas. We report a case of sarcoidosis with various cutaneous manifestations in a 42-year old female. On cutaneous examination, there were multiple papules on the posterior neck and anterior chest, subcutaneous nodules along an old scar of the right scapular area, violaceous nodule with satellite lesions and subcutaneous nodule on the right knee. Histopathology revealed noncaseating granulomas in all 5 specimens. She was treated with oral prednisolone leading to an excellent clinical response within 3 months of treatment, and remains well without recurrence for follow-up period of 20 months. .
