Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of an unknown cause that affects multiple organs, most commonly lungs, intrathoracic lymph nodes, eyes, and skin, which accounts between 20% and 25%. However, cutaneous sarcoidosis can present without any systemic involvement in 25% of cases. We present a case of a 53-year-old female patient with cutaneous sarcoidosis with no lung involvement. The patient presented to the family medicine department with non-itchy, tender, erythematous papules occurring at the dorsal part of the hands and the right foot for three months. Skin punch biopsy demonstrated multiple dermal-based nodules consisting of non-necrotizing granulomata. Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level and a chest radiograph were normal and not consistent with pulmonary sarcoidosis. There are different cutaneous manifestations of cutaneous sarcoidosis and early identification helps in early intervention.
