CUTANEOUS SARCOID GRANULOMAS WITH OAT-CELL CARCINOMA OF THE LUNG

A case of a 68-year-old male is presented, with a history of asymptoma tic slight scaling, infiltrated patches with an atrophic central porti on, of 3 months of evolution on the face and trunk, A chest X-ray show ed an oat cell lung carcinoma, with the same evolution time as the cut aneous lesions. Several cutaneous biopsies showed typical sarcoid gran ulomas, with profuse giant cells. An immunohistochemical study showed B-cell-positive granulomas. The patient was treated with cytostatic dr ugs and prednisone, leading to cutaneous, radiological and clinical co mplete regression of the lesions. We think that this case corresponds to a tumor-related cutaneous sarcoid granuloma reaction.
