  • Title: Subcutaneous sarcoidosis associated with vitiligo, pernicious anaemia and autoimmune thyroiditis.
    Author: Barnadas MA, Rodríguez-Arias JM, Alomar A.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2000 Jan; 25(1):55-6. PubMed ID: 10671975.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with pernicious anaemia, primary autoimmune hypothyroidism and vitiligo, who presented with subcutaneous nodules. Histopathology of the nodules revealed noncaseating granulomas, consistent with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Mild pulmonary sarcoid was also detected. Although an association between sarcoidosis and other autoimmune diseases is well-recognized, the presence of the particular autoimmune diseases in our patient and the involvement of subcutaneous fat in the sarcoidal inflammation, appears to represent a most unusual clinicopathological combination.
