Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic non-caseating granulomatous disorder of unknown origin. The cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis often enable the dermatologist to be the first physician to make the diagnosis. In the Western countries, maculopapular lesions are the most common cutaneous manifestation of granulomatous involvement in sarcoidosis. However, subcutaneous sarcoidosis has been known to be most common subtype in the Korean literature. Herein, we present a rare case of papular sarcoidosis accompanied with chronic anterior uveitis.

Key Words: Sarcoidosis, Papular
