  • Title: Cutaneous sarcoidosis masquerading as relapsed borderline tuberculoid leprosy?
    Author: Kaur S, Dhar S, Bambery P, Kanwar AJ, Khajuria A.
    Journal: Int J Lepr Other Mycobact Dis; 1993 Sep; 61(3):455-8. PubMed ID: 8228445.
    Abstract:
    A patient with cutaneous sarcoidosis is presented. The patient was diagnosed initially as borderline tuberculoid leprosy downgrading to borderline lepromatous leprosy and received a full 2 years of World Health Organization multibacillary drug treatment (MDT). Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy on chest X-ray and cutaneous anergy manifested by negative Mantoux, candidin and trichophytin skin tests suggested the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Histopathology confirmed this diagnosis. The subcutaneous nodule seen in this patient is a rare type of cutaneous sarcoidosis.
