Sarcoidosis Mimicking Lipodermatosclerosis

Author and Disclosure Information

The clinical presentation of cutaneous sarcoidosis is highly variable. Rare presentations include ulcerated plaques, morpheaform lesions, and unilateral lower extremity edema. We report the case of a woman who presented with unilateral ulcerating sarcoidosis of the lower leg with progressive fibrosis and edema mimicking lipodermatosclerosis. This case is unique in that the patient exhibited all 3 of the rare manifestations of sarcoidosis; to our knowledge, this presentation has not been previously reported in the literature.
