For some cases of SCLS, no aetiology is evident and these cases are reported as idiopathic (ISCLS). Objectives: To describe the cutaneous findings in 3 patients with ISCLS. Results: Cutaneous involvement consisted in sclerosis, livedo, purpura and photodistributed maculopapular erythematous rash. Dermal mucinosis was proven by biopsy in 1 patient. No underlying disease was diagnosed during follow-up. Conclusion: The above-mentioned cutaneous findings can be present during acute attacks of ISCLS.They seem specifically related to the ISCLS and not indicative of an underlying disease.展开更多
