Abstract
Background: Cutaneous sarcoidosis is a frequent manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis and exhibits a wide spectrum of clinical and histopathological presentations. Annular sarcoidosis is a rare variant that may mimic other granulomatous dermatoses, making diagnosis challenging. Dermatopathological examination remains the cornerstone for definitive diagnosis. Case presentation: We report the case of a 62-year-old woman presenting with chronic pruritic annular facial lesions associated with exertional dyspnea. Clinical, dermoscopic, radiological, and histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of annular cutaneous sarcoidosis with pulmonary involvement. Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic value of dermatopathology in annular sarcoidosis and emphasizes the role of cutaneous manifestations as a marker of systemic disease.
