Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology involving multiple organs of body. Cutaneous sarcoidosis varied in morphology with follicular, papular, nodular plaque, lupus pernio and erythema nodosum are the commonest forms. We herein present a case of a middle age male who presented with micropapular lesion on photo exposed areas which turn out to be cutaneous sarcoidosis on histopathology. There was no systemic involvement. Multidisciplinary and comprehensive management approach is required in such cases. Patients' clinical features improved considerably after treatment with topical and systemic corticosteroids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
