Hello
Thanks for your query.
Sarcoidosis by any means can never cause such offensive smell. Lymph node involvement even in stage 3 sarcoidosis can never cause such smell. It may rarely occur from sarcoidosis skin lesions. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for that. Because there may be another pathology which can cause this.
Thank you
