Abstract
Childhood sarcoidosis is an uncommon disease and recognition of this disease in children is often delayed because of the lack of awareness and unfamiliarity with its clinical features. With the aim of providing clues for diagnosis and treatment of disease, we reported a a 23-month-old boy hospitalized for multiple pinkish papules and painless cystic swellings in ankles and wrists, diagnosed with sarcoidosis, treated with corticosteroid and well recovered. This case reminds us to include childhood sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis in pediatric patients who present with multiple papular eruptions along with systemic manifestations. It is characterized by arthritis, uveitis, and cutaneous involvement. The prognosis of early-onset childhood sarcoidosis varies in different studies due to the rarity of the disease. The treatment of choice in systemic involvement of childhood sarcoidosis is corticosteroids. Key words: sarcoidosis in children, childhood sarcoidosis, granulomatous disorder, arthritis, uveitis.
