Sarcoidosis associated with psoriasis vulgaris

Abstract

We report a 70-year-old patient with sarcoidosis associated with psoriasis vulgaris. He had a nodule on the medial lower lid of his right eye. Oral corticosteroid for the sarcoid lesions and oral PUVA for psoriasis were employed. The cutaneous lesion disappeared within two months after starting the therapy. No relapse of sarcoidosis has been seen for eight years. The association of sarcoidosis with psoriasis has been previously reported; however, it is still unclear whether this association coincidental or meaningful.
