description Lupus pernio (LP) is characterized by the association between insidious purpuric or purplish blue lesions localized in the nose, cheeks, lips, and ears and swelling of the fingers and toes. We report a case of chronic sarcoidosis with lupus pernio in a 34-year-old male. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made on the basis of clinical data and imaging results and confirmed by skin biopsy, which showed numerous epithelioid granulomas surrounded by a non-caseous inflammatory crown. Treatment with prednisolone was started. It is important to make an early diagnosis to avoid a delay in treatment and worsening of the functional and psychological prognosis.
