Background:
Sarcoidosis is a chronic disease with involvement of multiple organs. Cutaneous lesions may appear as the only manifestation or may be accompanied by systemic disease.
Objective:
To learn that genital sarcoidosis is a rare entity that should be included in the differential diagnosis of genital papules and nodules.
Methods And Results:
A 31-year-old African-American man presented with cutaneous lesions on his penis and scrotum existing for 2 years. The genital lesions were so prominent as to interfere with his sexual life. Sarcoidosis was demonstrated on biopsy.
Conclusions:
Sarcoid lesions may affect any skin area, but are rarely described on the genitalia. Dermatologists should be aware that genital sarcoidosis is a rare entity that should be included in the differential diagnosis of genital papules and nodules. Additionally, genital sarcoidosis may cause urinary problems and may represent a therapeutic challenge.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
