Ichthyosiform and morpheaform sarcoidosis.
Specific (usually papules and nodules showing a granulomatous histology) and non-specific (e.g. erythema nodosum) cutaneous lesions presenting manifestations of sarcoidosis have been well described. Two patients with unique presentations are here described; one with ichthyosiform cutaneous lesions and one with not previously described cutaneous lesions which mimicked linear morphea (localized scleroderma). The association of articular manifestations without pulmonary involvement was also unusual.
