Historical Perspective
- British physician, Jonathan Hutchinson(1828–1913) first described dermatologic manifestations of sarcoidosis as " a case of livid papillary psoriasis" in 1877[1].
- Guy Scadding published Sarcoidosis book in 1967 and collaborated with Sheila Sherlock on liver biopsy for diagnosis of sarcoidosis[2].
- Caesar Boeck(1845-1917) reported 24 cases of "benign military lupoids"[3].
- Swedish dermatologist Jorgen Schaumann(1879–1953), introduced sarcoidosis as a multisystem disease for the first time and called it "lymphogranuloma benigna" to differentiate it from Hodgkin lymphoma[4].
- Sven Lofgren(1910–1978) did studies on primary pulmonary sarcoidosis and the combination of hilar adenopathy and erythema nodosum became famous as Lofgren syndrome[5]. Lofgren attended the first world congress on sarcoidosis in London in 1958 and proposed a viral cause for sarcoidosis[2].
