HIV associated Kaposi's sarcoma is one of the AIDS defining condition. It is rarely reported from India. We report a 40-year-old heterosexual married male with widespread cutaneous lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma without any oral lesions or systemic association as a presenting manifestation of HIV.

None of the family members had abnormal hair growth. Mother denied intake of alcohol or any other medication during pregnancy. There was no history of seizures in infant. The developmental milestones were normal for his age. He weighed 5 kg. The head circumference and crown-heel length were 41 and 57 cm, respectively. Dermatological examination revealed dense growth of gray to light brown, silky hair over most of the body [Figure 1]. Hair was relatively profuse and long over face [Figure 2], axillae, extremities and genitalia [Figure 3]. The hair over scalp was dark and coarse [Figure 2]. The palms, soles [Figure 3] and lips were spared. Nails and mucosae were normal. Systemic examination did not reveal any abnormality. The diagnosis of congenital hypertrichosis lanuginosa (CHL) was made on the basis of above findings.

It has been suggested that infective agents including Mycobacteria, Propionibacteria, fungi such as Candida, and parasites such as Schistosoma, are likely triggers in a genetically predisposed individual and that this initial event leads to the sarcoidal granulomatous response.[1] The histological similarity between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis featuring epitheloid cell granuloma as a typical common finding, has stimulated the search for an association between sarcoidosis and mycobacteria. We, herein, report a case who developed sarcoidosis after successful treatment of renal tuberculosis.

Research paper thumbnail of A case of zosteriform Darier′s disease with seasonal recurrence

The disease can rarely present in unilateral zosteriform pattern, as a mosaic form following the Blaschko's line. We present a 35-year-old woman with zosteriform pattern of Darier's disease over right infra mammary region. The lesions occurred strictly during summers. Histologically, suprabasal acantholysis with abundant dyskeratotic cells were seen.
