A case report of Löfgren's syndrome (a variant of sarcoidosis) with atypical manifestations in a Taiwan Chinese man

A 28-year-old Chinese man presented with refractory ocular redness in the bilateral eyes. His symptoms co-existed with dysphasia and acute body weight loss. Excisional biopsy of the conjunctiva and hilar lymph nodes was performed and Löfgren's syndrome was confirmed. The patient was treated with systemic steroid and symptoms gradually subsided over the 2-year follow-up period. Ocular redness and dysphagia with acute body weight loss are atypical symptoms of Löfgren's syndrome. Careful survey and prompt treatment is necessary.
