Abstract
- Cutaneous sarcoidosis occurs in 20-25% of systemic sarcoidosis and can be presented without other organ involvement. Most frequent clinical features are maculopapule, nodule, plaque, subcutaneous nodule, infiltrative scar and lupus pernio, but uncommon forms including ulcer, alopecia, hypopigmented and micropapular type have been described. Micropapular type is a rare form of cutaneous sarcoidosis with good prognosis. We present a case of generalized micropapular sarcoidosis without other organ involvement.
