[Cutaneous-pulmonary sarcoidosis. Diagnostic difficulties in the Black African milieu].
About a case of pulmonary and dermatologic manifestations of sarcoidosis, in a Black African patient, the authors emphasize the clinical polymorphism of sarcoidosis. They insist on the diagnostic criteria of sarcoidosis which are not at all specific of the disease but necessitate a compatible interpretation; particularly in Black Africa where leprosy, tuberculosis and many others granulomatous diseases are endemic.
