A case of sarcoidosis with lesions also localized to the cranial region is reported, and 21 similar cases published in the literature reviewed. Lesions are usually seen as small lacunae in the cranial vault, and are commonly associated with neurologic and cutaneous manifestations of the disease. They appear to be very rare but their frequency is probably underestimated. Their detection is facilitated by the use of technetium scintigraphy.
