title: Subcutaneous sarcoidosis.
abstract: Subcutaneous sarcoid appears to be rare, particularly in Caucasians. When it does occur, it usually heralds systemic involvement. A case of subcutaneous sarcoid is reported, which is unusual both in its extent, and by its lack of demonstrable extra-cutaneous disease. Cutaneous sarcoid is well recognized, but subcutaneous sarcoid has rarely been described. We report only the fourth case of subcutaneous sarcoid from the UK.
