[Lichenoid sarcoidosis]

A rare type of cutaneous papular sarcoidosis is the lichenoid form. We describe a 36-year-old woman who presented with a symmetrical, asymptomatic lichen-like eruption on her upper limbs. The biopsy showed a non-necrotizing granulomatous infiltrate compatible with sarcoid. Chest X-ray revealed Type I bilateral, asymptomatic, hilar adenopathy with no parenchymal abnormalities. High levels of angiotensin converting enzyme and a 67gallium lung scan supported the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
