INTRODUCTION Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis in which firm asymptomaticto-tender subcutaneous nodules develop secondary to sarcoidal granulomas involving the panniculus. Sarcoidosis implies systemic disease, but subcutaneous lesions may present with absent or mild systemic involvement. Here we report 3 cases of isolated subcutaneous nodules with sarcoida...

In this article we present a 53-year-old lady, who had progressive indurated skin lesions on her both forearms since 3 months ago, without skin discoloration. Chest x-ray showed parahilar lymphadenopathy, in high resolution CT (HRCT) scan evaluation multiple lymph nodes in upper and middle mediastinum were reported. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) level was increased to 81 (normal 5-5...

Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is a rare variant of cutaneous sarcoidosis, which typically presents as single or multiple, indurated, illdefined plaques, typically on the upper extremities. Granulomas consisting of macrophages with multinucleated giant cells and sparse lymphocytic inflammation are confined to the subcutaneous tissue, rather than to their usual location within the dermis in typical le...

Lepromatous leprosy and sarcoidosis have varied clinical manifestations. These two diseases are sometimes mistaken for each other in their clinical, histopathological laboratory parameters, but coexistence is seemingly quite rare paradoxical. We present a 40-year-old female with newly diagnosed lepromatous subcutaneous sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of an unknown etiology. Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis, and plantar involvement is extremely rare and there is only one such case report in the medical literature. Herein we present an interesting case of a patient who was diagnosed as having subcutaneous sarcoidosis at a plantar localization because plantar in...

A 64-year-old woman with hepatitis C was treated using combination therapy with peginterferon α-2a and ribavirin. After 3 months, she presented with raised nodules on her knees and elbows. After 8 months, she developed painful subcutaneous nodules on her forearms. We diagnosed sarcoidosis with both plaques and subcutaneous nodules associated with combination therapy with peginterferon α-2a and ...

A case of subcutaneous sarcoidosis involving the paralateral nasal region is described and a brief review of the literature is made. Subcutaneous sarcoidosis without systemic disease is a rare entity and has seldom been reported on the trunk and face. Diagnosis is always difficult as it can only be confirmed by histological studies.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease of unknown etiology, developing granulomas in any tissues and organs. Approximately 25% of sarcoidosis patients have cutaneous involvement with various clinical manifestations, which are categorized into specific or nonspecific diseases based on the histopathology; the former represents the typical sarcoid granulomas. Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is one of the s...
