[Morpheiform sarcoidosis as atypical manifestation of sarcoidosis. Review of the literature and differential diagnosis].

María Castellanos-González1, María Remedios Picazo Talavera2.   

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic multisystem granulomatous disease that commonly involves the skin in 25% of affected patients. Because lesions assume a vast array of morphologies, a classification dividing them into specific (with presence of typical granulomas in the biopsy) or nonspecific (not containing granulomas) has been proposed. In the first group the variant morpheaform is considered exceptional. We review the cases reported in the literature and describe the possible differential diagnosis. We highlight the importance of recognizing the very atypical presentation of sarcoidosis and its ability to mimic morpheaform or sclerosis diseases in our patients.
