A case of sarcoidosis involving skin, cervical Iymph nodes, lacrimal gland & uvea in 46 years old female is presented. Sarcoidosis is not infrequent disease in Scandinavia, England & the United States but known to be rare among the orientals. Diagnosis of the case is confirmed by characteristic non-caseous tubercles in biopsied skin & cervical node, a marked hypergammaglobulinemia with reversed A G ratio, granulomatous uveitis & lacrimal gland involvement as well as general clinical features. The patient was improved dramatically by steroid therapy which is the only effective agent known at present time, to control the activity of the disease process. The presented case is the first proved case of sarcoidosis in Korea.
