Abstract

Eliminating other potential causes of granulomatous inflammation helps to diagnose the mysterious sarcoidosis. All clinicians face a diagnostic dilemma because of the clinical polymorphism and the multisystemic sarcoidosis symptoms. After the lungs, the skin is the organ most frequently impacted by sarcoidosis. Before, during, or after systemic involvement, dermatological symptoms can occur, and the kind of skin lesion can have a bearing on the prognosis. Additionally, compared to a biopsy of visceral organs, a skin lesion biopsy is easier to perform and less intrusive. Therefore, there are some instances in which cutaneous symptoms can help with the diagnosis and outlook of a systemic illness. A high index of clinical suspicion is needed for early diagnosis and timely management, which can improve the quality of life for those patients and reduce morbidy and mortality due to this disease. This article has emphasised the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and treatment of the common skin lesions of sarcoidosis.
