Description:
A generalized benign systemic granulomatous disease most frequently involving the lymph nodes, liver, skin, lungs, spleen, salivary glands, and eyes. More frequent in young adults 20 to 30 years of age, with a predilection for females. In the U.S.A. it occurs frequently in Negroes. Etiology unknown.
The English physician Robert Willan in 1808 described erythema nodosum, another skin symptom that in 1946 was proved to be related also to sarcoidosis. The skin lesions were described first by Sir Jonathan Hutchinson in 1877 and later by Ernest Henri Besnier in 1889. Boeck in 1899 described the first case of sarcoidosis with skin changes and general destruction of lymph nodes. Involvement of other parts of the body was reported by Jörgen Nilsen Schaumann to the Societé française de Dermatologie et de Syphiligraphie pour le Prix Zambaco, in 1914. Through his paper of 1916-1917) the systemic nature of sarcoidosis came to be recognized. The histological picture of lupus pernio with presence of epithelid cells and giant cells was first described in 1892 by the two French physicians H. Tenneson and Charles Eugene Quinquaud (1841-1894). Alexander Bittorf (1876-1940), Erich Kusnitzky (1883-1960) in 1915 drew attention to the pulmonary manifestation of sarcoidosis. The Norwegian pathologist Morten Ansgar Kveim (1892-1966) in 1941 published a test to differentiate sarcoidosis from tuberculosis. Danbolt in 1947 re-examined Boeck’s original patient, then aged 80.
