Abstract
A 34-year-old woman with a history of pulmonary sarcoidosis was referred for examination and treatment of suspected molluscum contagiosum nodules of the eyelids. After full ophthalmic examination, she underwent a biopsy of an eyelid nodule. Histopathologic examination of the eyelid nodule showed numerous, noncaseating granulomas as well as giant cells. This case represents the rare findings of sarcoidosis of the eyelid skin in a patient with chronic but not ocular sarcoidosis.
