Sarcoidosis of the scalp: A case series and review of the literature

Abstract: Sarcoidosis of the scalp is a rare manifestation of cutaneous sarcoidosis. We report 4 cases, all in African-American women with systemic sarcoidosis. A review of the English-language literature reveals only 24 reported cases, most in African-American women with systemic involvement and other cutaneous lesions. Scalp sarcoidosis may exhibit variable morphologies and therefore must be kept in the differential diagnosis of plaques or nodules of the scalp as well as both cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecia.

“…Após revisão da literatura médica inglesa, encontraram-se 31 casos relatados de sarcoidose de couro cabeludo. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] A apresentação clínica da sarcoidose no couro cabeludo varia bastante nesses relatos, desde placas eritematosas que lembram lúpus eritematoso discóide até lesões nodulares. [4][5][6] A apresentação mais comum parece ser em placa ou nódulo de alopecia, cicatricial ou não.…”

“…[4][5][6] A apresentação mais comum parece ser em placa ou nódulo de alopecia, cicatricial ou não. 7 Alopecia localizada pode ser secundária a várias causas, incluindo infecções, tração, neoplasias, queimadura química e térmica, radiação e várias dermatoses cicatriciais. 4 Bluefarb et al sugeriram que a alopecia associada à sarcoidose ocorre porque o infiltrado sarcoídico comprime e destrói o folículo piloso.…”
