    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease.
    • Ocular involvement is common but can present with diverse manifestations.

    Observation:

    • A 38-year-old man with biopsy-confirmed sarcoidosis developed progressive skin lesions.
    • He subsequently presented with conjunctival follicles, cicatrization, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, and lacrimal gland enlargement.

    Findings:

    • Biopsies confirmed sarcoidosis in the lacrimal gland, conjunctiva, skin, nasal polyps, and epididymis.
    • This indicates widespread systemic involvement beyond typical pulmonary manifestations.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering sarcoidosis in patients with unexplained inflammatory conditions affecting multiple organ systems.

  • Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is crucial for identifying the full extent of sarcoidosis.
  • Early recognition and management are vital to prevent irreversible damage, such as symblepharon.
