Summary We report the case of a female patient with necrobiosis lipoidica of the lower legs and coexistent systemic and cutaneous sarcoidosis. We review the six previously reported patients with coexisting necrobiosis lipoidica and sarcoidosis. The associations between the granulomatous disorders of the skin, especially necrobiosis lipoidica, sarcoidosis and granuloma annulare, are discussed. The common pathogenetic features of these disorders are reviewed.
