[Cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis]

[Article in German]
K Amschler et al. Z Rheumatol. 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Skin manifestations of sarcoidosis occur in up to 30% of cases. This review summarizes and illustrates in detail the differences between specific and unspecific skin manifestations of sarcoidosis. Important differential diagnoses, such as tuberculosis, cutaneous lymphoma and syphilis have to be excluded. The indications for systemic treatment are primarily determined by the extent of organ involvement and also by the cosmetic impairment.

Keywords: Epithelioid granuloma; Erythema nodosum; Lupus pernio; Löfgren syndrome; Skin.
