A middle aged man presented as a recalcitrant case of borderline leprosy with concomitant pulmonary tuberculosis and urolithiasis which continued to progress relentlessly despite adequate multiduring antileprosy and antitubercular treatment. After detailed and relevant workup, the diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made. Rapid clinical improvement occurred with steroid therapy.
