title: [Successful topical treatment of cutaneous sarcoidosis with tacrolimus].
abstract: A 56-year old female patient with cutaneous sarcoidosis in the face was treated with fumaric acid esters and doxycycline without any effect. Topical tacrolimus led clinically and histologically to a nearly complete remission within three months, which continued after 4 months of follow-up.
