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].
- Besnier described a patient with lupus pernio(a variant of cutaneous sarcoidosis) in 1889[3].
- Caesar Boeck(1845-1917) reported 24 cases of "benign military lupoids"[4].
- 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[5].
- Sven Lofgren(1910–1978) did studies on primary pulmonary sarcoidosis and the combination of hilar adenopathy and erythema nodosum became famous as Lofgren syndrome[6]. Lofgren attended the first world congress on sarcoidosis in London in 1958 and proposed a viral cause for sarcoidosis[2].
- Ansgar Kveim(1892–1966) observed that intradermal inoculation of sarcoid lymph node tissues in sarcoidosis patients, gave rise to sarcoid papules but injection of tuberculin and Frei antigen did not produce papules and he served to distinguish sarcoidosis from tuberculosis by this test[7].
- Nils Svanborg(1920-1997) published the first monograph about cardiopulmonary function abnormalities in sarcoidosis[8].
- Christian Heerfordt(1871–1953) was an ophthalmologist who explained uveoparotid fever characterized by anterior uveitis and parotid gland enlargement[9].
