Scar sarcoidosis: A dermatologic masquerader

Abstract

Cutaneous sarcoidosis has varied clinical presentation and is a great mimicker, which requires an initial work-up for systemic involvement, followed by periodic screening. Recognition of cutaneous lesions is important because they provide a visible clue to the diagnosis and serve as an easily accessible source of tissue for histologic examination. Scar sarcoidosis is a rare clinical entity and often missed, and clinical diagnosis is made on subsequent biopsy after excluding other causes. We report a rare presentation of cutaneous sarcoidosis.
