Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. The skin is commonly affected. Cutaneous manifestations can mimic other diseases and autoimmune disorders. The dermatologist plays a critical role in elucidating the clinical diagnosis and assisting other specialists in the investigation of a systemic disease. We report a patient with typical cutaneous manifestation of sarcoidosis with pulmonary involvement.

Article Synopsis
- * The analysis indicated a positive association between higher levels of LDL-c and TG and increased risk of sarcoidosis, with significant odds ratios supporting this finding.
- * Additionally, drug target randomization suggested that lowering LDL-c via PCSK9 inhibitors and reducing TG levels through LPL-targeted drugs could potentially decrease the risk of developing sarcoidosis.

It is now common to have a modest to large number of features on individuals with complex diseases. Unsupervised analyses, such as clustering with and without preprocessing by Principle Component Analysis (PCA), is widely used in practice to uncover subgroups in a sample.

Article Synopsis
- Dermoscopy aids in diagnosing skin cancers and inflammatory skin diseases, providing detailed visual features.
- In three cases of granuloma faciale, distinct dermoscopic patterns were observed, such as elongated linear vessels and orange areas.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial as flat-type granuloma faciale can be easily confused with basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous sarcoidosis, requiring histological confirmation before treatment.
