Sarcoidosis With Erythrodermia and Ulceration.

Cutaneous leucocytoclastic vasculitis associated with acute sarcoidosis

“…Histological evidence of vasculitis has also been reported with an ulcerative form of erythroderma (Simpson, 1963) superficial to foci of non-caseating granulomata which the authors believed to be due to sarcoidosis (Chouvet et al, 1980) and in association with erythema annulare centrifugum-like lesions (Branford, Farr and Porter, 1982). In this report, leucocytoclastic vasculitis, i.e.…”

Sarcoidosis

“…Ulceration in extensive sarcoids of the skin of the face and limbs in black patients has been reported by Cottenot et al (1977) and Schiffner and Sharma (1977). Ulceration in sarcoids of the lower leg has been reported by Simpson (1963), Brodkin (1969, two cases) Bazex et al (1970), Hopf and Krebs (1974), and Meyers and Barsky (1978) . In some of these cases, it seems likely that hypostasis was a factor in determining ulceration.…”

Annular vasculitis of the head and neck in a patient with sarcoidosis

“…An association between cutaneous vasculitis and sarcoidosis has previously been reported by Simpson (1963), Kennedy (1979) and Chouvet et al (1980). The vasculitis in our patient differed particularly in its annular appearance, its location on the head and neck and the absence of sarcoid granulomata in the involved skin.…”
