Cutaneous Sarcoidosis
Caplan, Avrom; Rosenbach, Misha; Imadojemu, Sotonye
Sarcoidosis is a chronic, multisystem, inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that is characterized by noncaseating granulomas that impair normal organ functioning. Sarcoidosis predominantly affects the lungs, but the skin is often cited as the second most frequently involved organ. Cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis are highly variable and ongoing research seeks to better understand the relationship between clinical morphology and disease prognosis. Skin findings in patients with sarcoidosis can be "specific," in which sarcoidal granulomas infiltrate the skin, or they can represent a "nonspecific" reactive inflammatory process, as is seen in calcinosis cutis and erythema nodosum. Cutaneous sarcoidosis can be the initial presenting sign or develop later in the course of the disease. In some patients, the skin will be the most involved and impactful organ system and will drive therapy. In other cases, the skin will be an incidental or minor finding, but may be easily accessible for biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. There are many potential therapies for sarcoidosis, though no one therapy is universally effective.

G Buontempo, Michael; Alhanshali, Lina; Milam, Emily; Caplan, Avrom; Shapiro, Jerry; Alvarez, Anna; Kim, Randie; Lo Sicco, Kristen
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune disease with diverse clinical manifestations, including patchy hair loss resembling alopecia areata (AA). This report describes two cases of CLE presenting as AA mimickers, emphasizing the need to consider CLE in differential diagnosis for patchy hair loss. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and preventing scarring alopecia. J Drugs Dermatol. 2025;24(3):324-326. doi:10.36849/JDD.7793R1.
