Abstract:
Although acquired ichthyosis has been associated with a number of systemic illnesses, an association with sarcoidosis has rarely been reported. We report a patient with aquired ichthyosis of the lower and upper extrimities whose diagnosis of cutaneous sarcoidosis was confirmed by histologic examination. Systemic involvement in the patient revealed occular, pulmonary and nerve disease. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis must be considered when a patient presents with acquired ichthyosis.
