Sarcoidosis plaque form: solitary plaque that has existed for about 1 year, has grown continuously up to now, is symptomless, asymptomatic, fine-lamellar scaly, sharply defined, brown-reddish plaque.

Sarcoidosis: small nodular disseminated sarcoidosis of the skin. lung involvement. resistance to therapy, progressive since 1 year. known atopic eczema. findings: multiple reddish-brownish papules and plaques.

sarcoidosis: anular or circine chronic sarcoidosis of the skin. existing for about 5 years. onset with papules the size of a pinhead (see middle of the cheek) with appositional growth and central healing. no detectable systemic involvement. findings: asymptomatic, brown to brown-red, borderline, centrally atrophic, little infiltrated, confluent lesions in the face in several places.

Sarcoidosis: anular or circinear sarcoidosis, detailed view. distinct nodular structure with brown-red color. central scarred healing.

Sarcoidosis plaque form: large, symptom-free plaque on the capillitium that has existed for several years; scarred hairless state after healing under fumaric acid ester.

Sarcoidosis nodular form: several, since about 2 years existing, so far continuously grown, symptomless, fine-lamellar scaling, brown-reddish, surface smooth, firm, nodules and knots.

Sarcoidosis of the skin: flat, symptomless, brown-red, easily distinguishable smooth plaque at the tip of the nose

Sarcoidosis. chronic sarcoidosis without detectable organ involvement. several to 10.0 cm large, anular, completely symptom-free, brown-red plaques with a smooth surface.

Sarcoidosis, plaque form: slightly pressure-painful plaques of the skin with plates with a scaly surface that can be easily distinguished from the surrounding area and can be moved on the support.

Sarcoidosis of the skin: slightly pressure-painful, scaly brown plaque of the skin that slides over the underlay.

sarcoidosis, plaque form. nodules and plaques that are easily distinguishable from the surrounding area. foci are movable on the support; scaly-crusted surface.

Sarcoidosis plaque shape: detailed view.

sarcoidosis: subcutaneously knotty form of sarcoidosis. recurrent course for several years. development of slightly pressure-painful nodules in the subcutaneous fatty tissue. known lung sarcoidosis stage II. skin findings: subcutaneously located, bulging nodules and plates, which can be clearly distinguished from the surrounding area and can be moved on the support. the skin above is partly reddened (see figure), partly unchanged.


Sarcoidosis, subcutaneous nodular form:known pulmonary sarcoidosis; skin findings: subcutaneously and cutaneously located nodules and plates which can be easily distinguished from the surrounding area and which slide on the support.




Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis with (extensive) involvement of skin (D86.3) and inguinal lymph nodes (D86.1)

Differential diagnosis sarcoidosis of the skin: present is an anular granulomatous inflammation in late syphilis.

Sarcoidosis: Incident light microscopy; numerous bizarre vessels are conspicuous, partly arranged in narrow loops (lower part of the image).

Sarcoidosis. histology overview: dense, nodular aggregates of "naked" epitheloid-cellular granulomas without centralized cheese formation, which fill the entire dermis.

Sarcoidosis: Detail enlargement: "naked" (without lymphocytic concomitant reaction), non-cheesematous, epitheloid cell granulomas in the dermis.

Sarcoidosis: Electron microscopy: Multinucleated giant cells with different electron densities, some of them lamellar, some of them star-shaped inclusion bodies.
