Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unclear origin. Cutaneous involvement is seen in about 20-35% of cases of sarcoidosis. Cutaneous lesions have been classified as specific and nonspecific type, depending on the presence of noncaseating granuloma on histologic studies. Specific lesions include lupus pernio, infiltrated plaques, maculopapular eruptions, subcutaenous nodules and scars. Among cutaneous lesions, subcutaneous sarcoidosis is rare and reported in 2-6% of cases of sarcoidosis. Standard therapeutic interventions for cutaneous sarcoidosis have traditionally included topical, intralesional, and systemic steroids, as well as antimalarial drugs, methotrexates, and combinations of these agents. We report two cases of subcutaneous sarcoidosis treated with oral corticosteroid.
