title: Micropapular cutaneous sarcoidosis: case series successfully managed with hydroxychloroquine sulfate.
abstract: Micropapular lesions constitute a rare morphologic variety of cutaneous sarcoidosis. We report 3 patients with this unusual entity and highlight the universal suppressive response to oral hydroxychloroquine sulfate. Although ocular involvement has been found to be common in conjunction with micropapular cutaneous sarcoidosis, none of our patients had demonstrable eye disease.
