Abstract

We present a case of sarcoidosis, which was associated with anterior granulomatous uveitis in both eyes and involvement of the right lacrimal gland in a 46-year-old korean female. The patient has nodules (various in size) on the nose, on the dorsum of right hand and on the back. Serum gamma globulin was elevated and in the nodules infiltration of giant cells, lymphocytes and epithelioid cells was presented, but no caseous necrosis.
