Platelet-rich plasma injections and the development of cutaneous sarcoid lesions: A case report

Authors' response: Platelet-rich plasma injections and the development of cutaneous sarcoid lesions: A case report

“…In contrast, there is documentation of the Koebner phenomenon in patients with sarcoidosis occurring after skin injury from both broadband light therapy and various cutaneous injections. 2 , 5 We stand by our assertion that the cutaneous lesions in our patient are the result of a Koebnerization reaction to the skin trauma caused by the needle during platelet-rich plasma injections.…”

“…To the Editor: We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the letter by Abrahams et al 1 regarding our recently published report “Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections and the Development of Cutaneous Sarcoid Lesions: A Case Report.” 2 …”

Cutaneous sarcoidosis post platelet‐rich plasma injections: A case report during the COVID pandemic

“…Izhakoff et al describe a case of a 62‐year‐old Chilean woman who developed firm, asymptomatic nodules on her face and shoulder at injection sites following treatment with PRP for a rotator cuff injury, and cosmetic purposes 7 . The authors considered the possibility that the patient had undiagnosed systemic sarcoidosis prior to the PRP treatment and advised caution against the use of PRP injections in patients with active sarcoidosis.…”

Granulomatous reaction at PRP/Fat injection sites after recovering from SARS‐Co‐V2: A case report

“…Sarcoidal granulomas were associated with PRP injection for the first time by Serizawa et al 4 A very recent report by Izhakoff et al reported formation of cutaneous sarcoid lesions after PRP treatment in a patient with subclinical sarcoidosis. 5 Both PRP and fat transplantation seem to be effective in regenerative medicine, independently. Growing evidence indicates synergistic beneficial effects of co-transfer.…”
