A case of hilar lymphadenopathy, a cardinal sign of extra-cutaneous sarcoidosis, is being described in detail. It continued to be a diagnostic dilemma until the appearance of several papules and/or nodules over the face, front and back of the upper chest. The diagnosis was clinched by demonstration of non-caseating, epithelioid naked granuloma and affirmative response to oral administration of prednisolone in dosage of 40 mg a day.
