Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease that can affect almost any organ. It occurs most commonly between the third and fourth decade and its etiology is unknown, but it is suggested that environmental factors, exposure to certain microorganisms and genetic predisposition may be important in its development. The skin may be affected in 30 % of patients with systemic sarcoidosis, presenting in this organ specific manifestation, being the papular de most common, or unspecific as erythema nodosum, which is a reactive phenomenon of the disease in which there are non-granulomas. Because skin lesions provide an accessible place for diagnosis of the disease, it is important to learn to recognize. In this review, we repass in the most common cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis and its treatment, for that we researched in the databases PubMed, Cochrane Hinari and until February 2013, using keywords such as sarcoidosis, and cutaneous sarcoidosis, in articles published in Spanish and English, for the past 10 years
