Cutaneous Sarcoidosis in Skin of Color.

Cutaneous sarcoidosis presents in 25% of all sarcoidosis cases. African American populations, particularly African American women, are more likely to develop the dermatologic manifestations of the disease. There are several types of skin manifestations of sarcoidosis, which can make it more difficult to diagnose it clinically. Given the higher incidence of sarcoidosis and the poorer outcomes in these populations, it is essential to understand and recognize the variety of dermatologic symptoms associated with sarcoidosis. By doing so, patients can be diagnosed and treated earlier in their disease progression. Williams JR, Frey C, Cohen GF. Cutaneous sarcoidosis in skin of color.
