Abstract

A 54-year-old woman presented with a one-year history of multiple hard non-tender nodules on the trunk and both upper extremities without other accompanying systemic symptoms. Histopathologic findings of this subcutaneous nodule revealed circumscribed round noncaseating granulomas separated by fibrous tissues. Special stainings such as PAS and AFB showed negative resulte. She was diagnosed as a subcutaneous sarcoidosis. The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroids and hydroxychloroquine. Skin lesions cleared after 12 weeks of treatment.
