title: Annular sarcoidosis mimicking granuloma annulare: a case report.
abstract: Cutaneous sarcoidosis is a great imitator and we have to remember this mimicker also in the differential diagnosis of erythematous annular lesions. We report the case of a 50-year- old man with a 7-year history of erythematous, annular or serpiginous, scaly plaques on his scalp, forehead, preauricular region and around his mouth who was misdiagnosed as granuloma annulare.
