Abstract
- Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder. Among various morphologies of cutaneous sarcoidosis, micropapular sarcoidosis is a rare form of cutaneous sarcoidosis. Clinically, the syndrome presents with the micropapules on the skin. Micropapular sarcoidosis involves the eyes frequently, while lung involvement is not common. Herein, we report a case of micropapular cutaneous sarcoidosis with ocular involvement. A 35-year-old Korean woman, with a history of uveitis and glaucoma, presented with progressive, tiny papular skin lesions. The histologic findings showed granulomatous inflammation composed of epithelioid granulomas in the upper dermis. The chest computed tomography showed no abnormalities. The patient in this case was diagnosed as having micropapular sarcoidosis and was treated with oral prednisolone.
