INTRODUCTION: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease characterized by a noncaseating granuloma. Posterior segment disease with white choroidal dots occurs in only 5% of sarcoidosis cases with ocular involvement. OBSERVATION: We report here the case of a 45-year-old Caucasian patient complaining of a skin rash. The biomicroscopic examination of the posterior poles revealed bilateral choroidal white dots with kidney insufficiency. A kidney and skin biopsy revealed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. CONCLUSION: This case is a rare example of posterior segment manifestation in sarcoidosis that must be considered when observing white choroidal dots.
