title: Cutaneous sarcoidosis: complete remission after oral isotretinoin therapy.
abstract: We report a 31-year-old female patient with cutaneous sarcoidosis, who showed a complete remission of her single system skin disease after an 8-month therapy with oral isotretinoin (1 mg/kg/day). At 15-month follow-up, the patient still remained free of recurrence and visceral involvement.
