These reports are reviewed herein. Surprisingly, the results from this case series indicate that transepithelial elimination is more common in cutaneous sarcoidosis than one may surmise from the current literature.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cup.12253","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,23]],"date-time":"2013-10-23T22:37:25Z","timestamp":1382567845000},"page":"22-27","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Transepithelial elimination in\u00a0sarcoidosis: a frequent finding"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Aimen","family":"Ismail","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham AL USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathleen","family":"Beckum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham AL USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristopher","family":"McKay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham AL USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000386892"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1985.tb05465.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0560.1982.tb01041.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(86)70016-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.1989.tb01272.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2012.1659","article-title":"Transepidermal elimination of sarcoidal granuloma in a patient with sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis overlap","volume":"22","author":"Yamamoto T","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2011.1373"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","first-page":"764","volume-title":"Andrews' diseases of the skin: clinical dermatology","author":"James WD","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.1993.tb01294.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0560.2012.01890.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1985.tb05799.x","article-title":"Disorders of transepidermal elimination.
