Sarcoidosis was diagnosed in an 11-year-old child. Unlike the usual features observed at this age the clinical picture was dominated by skin reactions which revealed the disease. This case also illustrates the latent nature of the multiorgan lesions including pulmonary, hepatic and ocular lesions. After general corticosteroids the manifestations subsided after two months but no long-term prognosis can be put forward.
