ABSTRACT
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology. The authors experienced a case of sarcoidosis in 22-year-old female who had palpable mass on left eyelid. Ocular examination revealed enlargement of lacrimal gland, anterior uveitis, iris nodule and abnormal fundus findings such as hyperemic disc with blurred margin, perivasculitis, vitreous himorrhage, and choroidal nodule. Systemic investigation yielded bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and pulmonary infiltration, enlargement of multiple supraclavicular lymphnodes. Histologic findings of lacrimal gland revealed non-caseating epitheloid granuloma. In the course of corticosteroid therpy, above signs are subsided gradually, but exacerbated when she discontinued steroid because of the development of acne on the face. And so, we confirmed the sarcoidosis.
