Sarcoidosis - Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education

In 1899 Caesar Boeck published his work:
„Multiple Benign Sarcoid of the skin“
“The histology is unique. The areas of new growth might be described as
perivascular sarcomatoid tissue built up by excessively rapid proliferation of
epitheloid connective-tissue cells in perivascular lymph-spaces, with little
addition of other varieties….true giant cells of sarcomatous type were found“.
„As a preliminary name for the clinical and histological type here described the
term „Multiple Benign Sarcoid” perhaps will be found suitable”.
