    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Systemic Diseases

    Background:

    • Acquired ichthyosis is a rare skin condition that can be associated with various systemic illnesses.
    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown cause.

    Observation:

    • This report details three adult patients who presented with sarcoidosis.
    • These patients also exhibited ichthyosiform changes, a type of dry, scaly skin, primarily on their legs.

    Findings:

    • A rare association between sarcoidosis and acquired ichthyosis was observed in these three cases.
    • The ichthyosiform changes were localized to the legs in all reported patients.

    Implications:

    • This case series highlights a previously underreported association between sarcoidosis and ichthyosis.
  • Further research is warranted to understand the potential pathomechanisms linking sarcoidosis and ichthyosis.
  • Clinicians should consider ichthyosis as a potential dermatological manifestation in patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis.
