Ichthyosiform sarcoidosis revisited

Abstract

Cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis are present in approximately one-third of the cases. Ichthyosiform lesion is one of the extremely rare cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis. It is a uncommon, but specific cutaneous manifestation of sarcoidosis that may precede or appear simultaneously with the diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis. Approximately 20 cases of ichthyosiform sarcoidosis have been reported in the PubMed database. We report here a case of sarcoidosis with ichthyosiform skin lesions along with central nervous system (CNS) and pulmonary involvement for its rarity and interesting clinical presentation.
