Case ReportsSarcoidal granulomas in a cosmetic tattoo in association with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology, which may affect multiple organ systems. The skin is involved in up to one-third of cases. ⋯ We report on a patient, who developed sarcoidal granulomas within the black pigment of his tattoos. This subsequently led to the diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis.
