Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Cutaneous involvement can occur and can be classified as specific or nonspecific depending on the presence or absence of granulomas on his- topathology of the skin. The subcutaneous form is a special type of presentation and it is believed to be more often associated with systemic disease.
