Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Reports an unusual tumoral presentation of cutaneous sarcoidosis.
  • Highlights diagnostic difficulties associated with this rare condition.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old woman presented with a rapidly growing, large lumbo-sacral tumor.
  • Biopsies revealed a dermohypodermal epithelioid and giant cell granuloma without necrosis.
  • Infectious and foreign body granulomas were excluded.

Findings:

  • The sarcoidal tumor demonstrated a complete response to systemic corticosteroid therapy.
  • No extra-cutaneous localizations were identified in this patient.
  • This case adds to the limited literature on tumoral cutaneous sarcoidosis.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of excluding other etiologies before diagnosing tumoral cutaneous sarcoidosis.
  • Suggests that while extra-cutaneous and multiple skin localizations aid diagnosis, their absence does not rule out this condition.
  • Underscores the need for increased awareness of rare sarcoidosis presentations in clinical practice.
