Zusammenfassung:Summary Sarcoidosis is a rare disease among children, manifesting differently in children below and above 4–5 years of age. Although the exact incidence and prevalence of childhood sarcoidosis is not known, the cutaneous involvement is frequent in both children and adults.

We report a case of scar sarcoidosis in an 11‐year‐old child along with a brief review of the literature.
