Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder with cutaneous involvement present in 25% of cases. We present a patient with ulcerative sarcoidosis to highlight this unusual presentation of a relatively rare cutaneous condition that was treated successfully using infliximab. The drug is effective in cutaneous sarcoidosis, but relapses can occur after discontinuation. In this article, we reviewed the clinical features and therapeutic modalities for ulcerative cutaneous sarcoidosis.
