A 64-year-old white male had extensive ulcerative cutaneous sarcoidosis of the lower extremities. After stabilization with methotrexate and prednisone therapy, the ulcers were debrided and covered with split-thickness skin grafts. An 80% graft acceptance was maintained 2 months later. Successful grafting of ulcerative sarcoidosis has not been reported previously.
