Lymphoma might occur in association with sarcoidosis or sarcoidosis might be combined with lymphoma, in so called (“sarcoidosis-lymphoma syndrome”). This syndrome is well reported in medical literature. The question, which one starts before is difficult to answer, as in some cases sarcoidosis starts first then is followed by lymphoma but in other cases during the course of lymphoma sarcoid reaction might be seen. In the present report, we describe a case of 60 years male patient that is presented with a rash with classical sarcoid pathology that overtime changes into typical lymphoma ended with death.
