ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the case study of a 34-year-old man. A 34-year-old man presents to the dermatology clinic with multiple skin lesions on his limbs, which are asymptomatic and have increased in number over one year. He is otherwise well. On direct questioning he admits to shortness of breath whilst playing football. He has multiple papules, nodules and annular lesions that are mainly scattered over his limbs. These range in colour from tan/brown to purple. The skin overlying the lesions is slightly shiny and taut. On palpation of the lesions there is neither surface scale or textural change at the surface, however there is marked indurationindicating dermal pathology. The lesions are non-tender and skin temperature was normal. Sarcoidosis is frequently managed by a multidisciplinary team, according to which organs are affected.
