ABSTRACT
Cutaneous manifestations occur in about 25% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis (1). A variety of phrases have been used to characterize skin involvement with sarcoidosis, ranging from eponyms derived from the names of
the describing authors, to more descriptive terms like ‘‘papular,’’ ‘‘macu-
lar,’’ ‘‘annular,’’ and so forth. This chapter emphasizes the latter, more
descriptive terminology, and covers the major clinical syndromes seen in
sarcoidosis of the skin, histopathology, laboratory evaluation, diagnostic
aspects, and therapies recommended for the disease.
