Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that can mimic a number of cutaneous and systemic disorders. It is a diagnosis of exclusion and high index of suspicion is required in cases presenting with atypical features. Here we report a case of a 51-year-old female farmer suffering from sarcoidosis who presented with lesions resembling sporotrichosis clinically
