Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sarcoidosis is an antigen-mediated disease defined by granuloma formation in different organs. Cutaneous lesions of sarcoidosis may be specific, showing histologically noncaseating granulomas, or nonspecific, showing typically erythema nodosum. If systemic garcoidosis cannot be demonstrated, a long-term follow-up should be undertaken, since some of these patients will develop systemic involvement later in the course of the disease. Some authors classify these lesions as local sarcoidal reactions. However, since skin lesions in the sarcoidal reaction and sarcoidosis do not differ in clinical or histological manifestations, other authors believe that these cases should be accepted as true sarcoidosis limited to the skin. We report two cases of cutaneous sarcoidosis limited to the skin without systemic involvement.
