Recurrent sarcoidosis on a scar associated with vitiligo

Journal of Dermatology

12/18/2007

We report a case of systemic sarcoidosis, diagnosed 13 years ago by transbronchial biopsy. Our patient had a spontaneous resolution of hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy 6 months after diagnosis. She presented with a skin rash on her thyroidectomy scar after a period of 4 years of complete remission. The patient complained that her thyroidectomy incision scar rose up, reddened and hardened. Biopsy of the skin lesion revealed non-caseating epithelioid granulomas with histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells. She was successfully treated with oral prednisone.
