    This case study highlights a rare presentation of sarcoidosis with generalized ulcerative skin granulomas. Treatment with antibiotics, prednisone, and hydroxychloroquine effectively managed the patient's condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas.
    • Cutaneous sarcoidosis affects approximately 25% of patients, presenting diverse morphologic patterns.
    • Ulcerative cutaneous lesions are an uncommon manifestation of sarcoidosis.

    Observation:

    • A 30-year-old African American male presented with generalized cutaneous granulomas.
    • Many of the patient's granulomatous lesions exhibited superficial ulceration.
    • The exudative nature of the lesions suggested secondary bacterial infection.

    Findings:

    • The patient's sarcoidosis involved widespread skin granulomas with ulceration.
    • Recurrent bacterial infections likely contributed to the ulcerative quality of the lesions.

  • A combination therapy was initiated to manage the disease.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing rare ulcerative presentations of cutaneous sarcoidosis.
    • Effective management involved addressing both the sarcoidosis and secondary infections.
    • The successful treatment regimen included oral antibiotics, prednisone, and hydroxychloroquine sulfate.
