Summary: Sarcoidosis, a multisystem autoimmune disorder primarily characterized by its pulmonary manifestations, also has significant cutaneous manifestations. Dermatology nurses play a crucial role in early recognition and diagnosis of this disease. This review article focuses on various cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis, clinical workup, and available treatment options to increase disease awareness among dermatology nurses for early diagnosis and management.

Summary: Currently, sarcoidosis is still a disease of unknown cause, making diagnosis and treatment more complicated. Various factors, both organic and inorganic, have been studied as triggers for granulomatous inflammation. However, the most promising hypothesis is that sarcoidosis is an autoimmune disease triggered by adjuvants in genetically predisposed individuals. This paper discusses the presence of ASIA criteria for sarcoidosis, proposes a new concept of its course within the framework of ASIA, and highlights the challenges in creating a disease model and selecting therapy. The data obtained bring us closer to understanding the nature of sarcoidosis and enable further studies to confirm this hypothesis by developing a disease model.

Summary: IGM is a mysterious inflammatory breast disorder that responds well to immunomodulatory treatment with methotrexate. Patients treated with methotrexate have the highest rates of relapse-free remission compared to those treated with steroids alone or steroids and surgery. Erythema nodosum and arthritis/arthralgia may be under-recognized manifestations of IGM when managed outside rheumatology settings.

Summary: The case presented highlights the importance of considering sarcoidosis as a possible cause of undiagnosed, refractory cutaneous lesions. In resource-poor countries where sarcoidosis is relatively uncommon, diagnosing isolated cutaneous sarcoidosis can be challenging. The appearance of lung involvement raised the suspicion of sarcoidosis and prompted a skin biopsy, leading to the diagnosis in this elderly female patient.

Summary: Recurrent sarcoidosis in cardiac and cutaneous involvement showed a stable pattern similar to baseline disease, with minimal spread observed. In some cases, recurrence occurred after years of apparent remission. Long-term follow-up is recommended for patients with recurrent disease affecting critical organs.

Summary: A case of chronic sarcoidosis with lupus pernio in a 34-year-old male was reported. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was confirmed by clinical data, imaging results, and skin biopsy, and treatment with prednisolone was started. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent delays in treatment and worsen the prognosis.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on dermatology practice, especially in patients with inflammatory and autoimmune skin disorders. This article presents a case of Rowell syndrome occurring after COVID-19, indicating a potential association between the infection and the exacerbation of pre-existing dermatologic diseases.
