Skin symptoms of sarcoidosis
- Dermatovenerologické oddělení FN Brno
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory non-infectious granulomatous disease that affects mainly lungs. Skin involvement is present
in about a third of cases. However, many patients are healed spontaneously without any consequences, sarcoidosis can lead
to a formation of granulomas in various tissues, later to a tissue remodeling and finally to a destruction of the tissue. Currently,
we are able to diagnose and treat sarcoidosis quite well, but we are facing difficulties answering the question of what causes the
disease and its great clinical variability.
