A 43-year-old man with cutaneous and pulmonary sarcoidosis was treated with fumaric acid esters (Fumaderm®) for 11 months because of the cutaneous lesions. During the treatment the cutaneous lesions and pulmonary changes vanished completely. In addition, serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) levels normalized after end of therapy. This case report is one of a few examples of the successful treatment of cutaneous and pulmonary sarcoidosis with fumaric acid esters (Fumaderm®).
