Abstract
The authors report 5 cases of sarcoidosis developed on scars. Sarcoido sis may be isolated (I case) ; it may precede (1 case) or accompany sy stemic sarcoidosis, or occur during a relapse (3 cases). Dermatologist s who observe cicatricial changes always suspect sarcoidosis. It is th erefore important that physicians should examine the scars of their pa tients with suspected sarcoidosis, since biopsy of these scars is easi ly performed, confirms the diagnosis and avoids more invasive explorat ions.
