Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease and has aptly been referred to as the great imitator in view of the myriad of lesions it presents with and of varying morphology. We report two such cases where cutaneous lesions of sarcoid was not the initial presentation and patients were being evaluated for other systemic symptoms..
