ABSTRACT
We report seven cases of cutaneous sarcoidosis without systemic involvement. All cases showed specific skin lesions which were papules (2 cases), patches (2 cases), subcutaneous nodules (2 cases) and plaques (1 case), respectively. Histologic examinations of the specimens commonly showed typical noncaseating granulomas. Although we performed the various laboratory studies, there was no evidence of systemic involvement in any case. Treatment with intralesional and/or topical steroid resulted in good responses, but we experienced some relapses of the skin lesions after withdrawal of treatment. Excision was the choice of treatment for subcutanous nodules. During the follow-up periods (1 - 4 years), we could not find any evidence of systemic involvement. Our cases represent the unusual cases of cutaneous sarcoidosis without systemic involvement.
