This study details a rare case of cutaneous sarcoidosis presenting as unilateral ulcerating lesions on the lower leg, accompanied by fibrosis and edema. This unique presentation mimicked lipodermatosclerosis, highlighting sarcoidosis

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous sarcoidosis exhibits diverse clinical presentations.
  • Rare manifestations include ulcerated plaques, morpheaform lesions, and unilateral lower extremity edema.

Observation:

  • A case report of a woman with unilateral ulcerating sarcoidosis of the lower leg.
  • The patient presented with progressive fibrosis and edema.
  • The condition mimicked lipodermatosclerosis.

Findings:

  • This case uniquely combines three rare sarcoidosis manifestations: ulcerated plaques, morpheaform lesions, and unilateral lower extremity edema.
  • This specific combination has not been previously documented in medical literature.

Implications:
