Abstract:
A 36-year-old female patient with sarcoidosis is presented showing lupus pernio, papular skin lesions, cervical lymph node enlargement and lung lesions. Diagnosis was confirmed by characteristic histologic findings of noncaseating granulomas in skin and cervical lymph node, supported by compatible clinical and laboratory features. Methatrexate was administered orally, which resulted in considerable improvement of skin lesions.
