We present a 65-year-old woman with a 10-year history of cutaneous sarcoidosis, refractory to multiple immunosuppressants and biologics. After 10 sessions of conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and 6 sessions of daylight PDT, we achieved a satisfactory local control of the lesion, reducing the thickness and orange coloration of the plaque and preventing superinfections, although systemic treatment had to be maintained. PDT could be a useful therapeutic option for cutaneous sarcoidosis.

We suggest that the clinical utility of PDT may be expanded to treatment of tattoo complications, as well as in cutaneous infections of unknown microorganisms resistant to antibiotics.
