Abstract
A patient with cutaneous sarcoidosis is presented. The patient was dia gnosed initially as borderline tuberculoid leprosy downgrading to bord erline lepromatous leprosy and received a full 2 years of World Health Organization multibacillary drug treatment (MDT). Bilateral hilar lym phadenopathy on chest X-ray and cutaneous anergy manifested by negativ e Mantoux, candidin and trichophytin skin tests suggested the diagnosi s of sarcoidosis. Histopathology confirmed this diagnosis. The subcuta neous nodule seen in this patient is a rare type of cutaneous sarcoido sis.
