Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Dermatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology.
  • It typically presents with pulmonary or skin manifestations, but can affect any organ.
  • Uncommon presentations necessitate a broad differential diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A rare case of sarcoidosis presenting solely with subcutaneous nodules in a 32-year-old woman is detailed.
  • The patient's initial symptoms were limited to multiple, non-tender subcutaneous nodules.
  • This clinical presentation is highly unusual for sarcoidosis.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was confirmed histopathologically.
  • The subcutaneous nodules represented the primary manifestation of the disease.
  • The differential diagnosis was extensive, including rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and fungal infections.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous nodules, even with atypical presentations.
  • Emphasizes the need for thorough investigation when faced with rare clinical manifestations of common diseases.
  • Contributes to the understanding of the diverse clinical spectrum of sarcoidosis.
