| description | Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease which frequently affects young adults. Because of its rarity, the exact incidence
and prevalence of childhood sarcoidosis is not known. It mostly affects children of older age group i.e., 13–15 years. Early onset
sarcoidosis (<5 years) is characterized by a triad of arthritis, uveitis and rash. Late onset sarcoidosis present with a multisystem
disease similar to adults, with frequent pulmonary infiltrations and lymphadenopathy. Herein, we report a case of early-onset
childhood sarcoidosis in a four-year-old female along with uncommon clinical features like cutaneous ulceration, onycholysis and
geographical tongue and its rarity in the literature. |
