The skin manifestations of sarcoidosis are classified as specific, where biopsy reveals non-caseating granulomas, and non-specific, typically erythema nodosum. The most frequent specific (granulomatous) skin lesions are maculopapules, subcutaneous nodules, scar sarcoidosis, plaques and lupus pernio.

Purpose Of Review: In recent years molecular imaging techniques have made important advances as regards the study of sarcoidosis. This paper reviews new developments in these techniques as well as their present role and limitations in the assessment of patients with sarcoidosis.
Recent Findings: PET with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG PET) has proved to be more sensitive than (67)gallium ((67)Ga) scan for assessing the inflammatory activity of sarcoidosis.
