Abstract
- A sarcoidose é doença granulomatosa multissistêmica que geralmente compromete o trato respiratório e os linfonodos hilares. A pele é comumente afetada, mas raramente o couro cabeludo. Dois casos de sarcoidose com lesões no couro cabeludo são relatados: o primeiro, em paciente negra apresentando áreas de alopecia no couro cabeludo associada a outras lesões cutâneas; e o segundo, em paciente branca, portadora de sarcoidose pulmonar, com alopecia como manifestação cutânea isolada. A sarcoidose de couro cabeludo merece especial atenção, pois nos pacientes com essa forma de lesão cutânea existe alta incidência de acometimento sistêmico.Sarcoidosis is a multi-system granulomatous disease that generally affects the respiratory tract and hilar lymph nodes. The skin is also commonly involved, although cutaneous sarcoidosis on the scalp is rare. Two cases of scalp sarcoidosis are reported: the first presented with patchy alopecia, cutaneous sarcoidosis and also systemic disease in a black patient; the second case is related to an uncommon presentation with alopecia as the single cutaneous manifestation in a Caucasian patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Scalp sarcoidosis deserves special attention because there is a high incidence of other systemic lesions with this cutaneous manifestation, thus a careful investigation should be performed in these patients.
