ABSTRACT

We introduce a case involving a female patient, 68 years old, who has been having diffuse skin nodularities for six months, particularly present in her upper body and lower extremities, and without other significant associated symptoms. The early suspicion of a case of cutaneous Sarcoidosis was later confirmed through histopathologic testing. Other clinical manifestations of Sarcoidosis are ruled out and we proceed to infiltrate the described lesions with Triamcinolone Acetonide with satisfactory results.
