Benign self-limiting sarcoidosis with skin and joint involvement

N Z Med J. 1976 Mar 24;83(560):197-9.

Abstract

Three cases of sarcoidosis presenting with both erythema nodosum and erythema diffusion as well as with an arthritis and pulmonary involvement are described. The simultaneous occurrence of nodose and diffuse skin lesions would suggest that a clinical distinction between Lofgren's syndrome (Lofgren, 1953) and the syndrome described by Caplan, Katz, Rubenstein (1970) is not justified.
