Zusammenfassung:Sarcoidosis is a non-caseating granulomatous disorder affecting multiple organs. Although the lungs are the most common site of presentation, extra-pulmonary manifestations involving the skin and heart can occur. Sarcoidosis affecting skull bone is uncommon and involvement of skin, heart, and skull bone all together, without pulmonary manifestations, is extremely rare. We report a 63-year-old Caucasian woman with a past history of cutaneous sarcoidosis and granulomatous skull bone lesions who presented with recurrent syncope. An ambulatory cardiac monitor detected intermittent high-grade atrioventricular block and cardiac MRI confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. This case represents an extremely unique journey of sarcoidosis and suggests potential consideration for cardiac sarcoidosis screening in patients with a history of extra-cardiac manifestations.
