GENERALIZED systemic and cerebrospinal cryptococcosis (torulosis) are accepted clinical entities. The extensive monograph by Stoddard and Cutler1 published in 1916 firmly established their identity. The cutaneous manifestations are apparently recognized infrequently. The literature contains few authentic examples.2 Primary cutaneous cryptococcal infection in which the skin lesions are the sole manifestation of the disease, without a preceding generalized or cerebrospinal involvement, seems to be rarer still. In any form, however, the condition is often associated with other disease entities. This report will present a case of cutaneous cryptococcosis which apparently represents the sui generis form of the disease, associated with sarcoidosis.
