Abstract EN
Here, we report the case of a 55-year-old man with reactivation of old cutaneous scars associated with a febrile illness, episcleritis, polyarthralgias, erythema nodosum and hilar adenopathy.
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) revealed right paratracheal, bilateral hilar, and subcarinal lymphadenopathy without any nodular densities in both lung fields.
A scar biopsy revealed multiple noncaseating granulomas and confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
A short course of oral steroids led to regression of systemic symptoms, and the scars returned to baseline size.
This patient represented a rare case of simultaneous Löfgren’s syndrome and scar sarcoidosis.
