RESUMO
Herpes zoster (HZ) may have atypical clinical presentations, particularly in immunosuppressed patients. Nodular HZ is an extremely rare condition. We report the first case of recurrent papulonodular HZ in an adult patient with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) receiving biologic treatment. More interestingly, there was no epidermal involvement on histopathological examination, but the involvement of the adnexa and blood vessels was a clue to the diagnosis in view of the clinical context. We wish to raise awareness of this rare manifestation of HZ for early diagnosis and proper treatment.
