title: [Cutaneous ulcerations in sarcoidosis].
abstract: We report the case of a 23 year-old Caribbean woman with sarcoidosis who developed specific skin ulcerations. Ulcerative lesions in sarcoidosis are distinctly unusual, generally multiple, painless, with preponderant location on the lower limbs. The diagnosis is difficult. The pathogenesis is discussed. The most successful therapy is hydrochloroquine with corticosteroids.
