Historical Survey

  • Chapter

Abstract

The earliest published reports of cases that can be accepted retrospectively into the diagnostic category now called sarcoidosis related to patients presenting with skin eruptions of several types. The concept of sarcoidosis as a systemic disease arose from recognition that these eruptions had a common histological pattern, and were accompanied by changes in internal organs showing a similar pattern; and later that changes of this sort may occur without skin involvement. Some of the names at first used for this systemic disease were derived from those used for the skin eruptions and others were eponyms, based upon claims for priority of description (Scadding, 1981a).
