The clinical features of 8 Nigerian cases of sarcoidosis are presented. All of them had skin lesions and at least one other organ involved. Great variability in morphology of skin lesions was found and patients with discoid lupus erythematosus-like changes, cicatricial alopecia, xanthelasma-like lesions and an annular lichen planus-like picture were observed. Review of the literature revealed only 11 previously reported cases of cutaneous sarcoidosis in West Africa. The question of the rarity of sarcoidosis in West Africa in the light of its high frequency in American Negroes who predominantly descended from West Africans is discussed.
本文介绍了8例尼日利亚结节病患者的临床特征。所有患者均有皮肤病变，且至少累及一个其他器官。发现皮肤病变的形态差异很大，观察到有盘状红斑狼疮样改变、瘢痕性脱发、睑黄瘤样病变及环状扁平苔藓样表现的患者。文献回顾显示，西非此前仅报告过11例皮肤结节病病例。鉴于结节病在美国主要来自西非的黑人中发病率很高，本文讨论了结节病在西非罕见的问题。
