Abstract
|
|
|
Cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis are highly variable and can be devided into the specific lesions which reveal noncaseating granuloma and the nonspecific lesions which are referred to as cutaneous changes. Among specific lesions, annular
lesions
may be formed from coalescing papular lesions that may clear centrally and elevate peripherally.
We report a case of sarcoidosis with multiple annular lesions on the face in a 33-year-old female who had systemic involvements in the intrathoracic organs and eyes.
The main histopathologic findings were well-demarcated islands of epitheloid cells with a few giant cells in the dermis. In addition, a slight admixfure of lymphoid cells was present at the margins of the epitheloid cell granulomas.
Complete regression of the skin lesions was obtained with systemic cortiocosteroid therapy and no recurrence has been found for 21/2 years.
