Abstract :
Sarcoidosis is a chronic idiopathic multisystem disorder of unknown etiology characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in all or several affected organs or tissues. Cutaneous involvement occurs in about 20-35% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis. Papular sarcoidosis is a rare form of cutaneous sarcoidosis that carries a more favourable prognosis than the other forms. We herein report a case of papular sarcoidosis in a child in view of its clinical rarity.
Keywords :
