Skin manifestations of sarcoidosis occur in up to 30% of cases, and may be the sentinel sign of the disease, with the skin being sometimes exclusively affected. While this may facilitate an early dermatologic diagnosis, heterogeneity in the cutaneous morphologies of sarcoidosis complicates recognition and affirms its reputation as a "great imitator". Here, we present a case of a verrucous version of sarcoidosis that may be misdiagnosed because it can mimic other inflammatory and neoplastic skin disorders. Although it is a rare variant, its presence should alert clinicians to the likelihood of systemic involvement of cutaneous sarcoidosis.
