Cutaneous sarcoidosis often masquerades as many other disease entities. We describe the case of a 56-year-old African American man with a 1-year history of progressively enlarging nodules and plaques of the face resulting in a leonine appearance and madarosis. The diagnosis of cutaneous sarcoidosis was made after skin biopsy results revealed noncaseating granulomas without evidence of foreign body, mycobacteria, or deep fungal infection. A thorough systemic workup was void of other comorbidities. The reports of tumoral sarcoidosis or sarcoidosis presenting with leonine facies are rare, and those cases that have been reported have been linked to other systemic findings.
