Mutilating facial sarcoidosis

Dermatology. 1999;199(3):265-7. doi: 10.1159/000018262.

Abstract

We report a patient with massive facial sarcoidosis. While skin involvement is a common manifestation of sarcoidosis, it is unusual to see it in the dramatic form of cutaneous tumors with mutilation of the central face. There are few reports of tumoral cutaneous sarcoidosis like that of our patient.
