Sarcoidosis is an enigma diagnosed by ruling out other etiologies of granulomatous inflammation. The multisystem manifestations of sarcoidosis and the clinical polymorphism pose a diagnostic challenge to all physicians. The skin is the most commonly affected organ after the lungs in sarcoidosis. Dermatological manifestations can appear before, during, or after systemic involvement, and the type of skin lesion can have prognostic significance. Also, a biopsy of skin lesions is less invasive and more accessible to perform than a biopsy of visceral organs. Thus, in certain ways, cutaneous manifestations can aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of systemic disease. This article has focused on the frequently encountered skin lesions of sarcoidosis along with their prevalence, clinical features, and management.
结节病是一种通过排除肉芽肿性炎症的其他病因来诊断的疑难病症。结节病的多系统表现和临床多态性给所有医生带来了诊断挑战。皮肤是结节病中仅次于肺部的最常受累器官。皮肤表现可在全身受累之前、期间或之后出现,皮肤病变的类型可能具有预后意义。此外,与内脏器官活检相比,皮肤病变活检的侵入性较小且更容易进行。因此,在某些方面,皮肤表现有助于全身性疾病的诊断和预后判断。本文重点关注结节病常见的皮肤病变及其患病率、临床特征和治疗方法。
