title: Co-existence of lichen planus and sarcoidosis.
abstract: We present a 53-year-old patient with respiratory sarcoidosis who subsequently developed cutaneous lichen planus (LP). Biopsy of the skin lesions showed typical LP with no evidence of sarcoid granulomas. To the best of our knowledge the two conditions have not been reported in association.
