Background: Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that may present as tattoo granulomas.Objective: A patient with systemic sarcoidosis who developed a granulomatous reaction within a tattoo is presented to stimulate interest in this unusual phenomenon.Methods and Results: A patient with a 6-year history of pulmonary sarcoidosis developed sarcoidal granulomas restricted to one pigment of a tattoo. Previous reports of sarcoidal granulomas within tattoos are reviewed, and information about the pathogenesis of this process is explored.Conclusion: Sarcoid granulomas may develop in tattoos as an isolated local reaction or as the presenting sign of systemic sarcoidosis. The reaction itself may provide insight into further understanding the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis.Anté cé dents: La sarcoïdose est une maladie systé mique qui peut se pré senter sous forme de granulomes sur un tatouage.Objectif: Stimuler l'inté rê t pour ce phé nomè ne inhabituel en pré sentant le cas d'un patient souffrant d'une sarcoïdose systé mique qui a dé veloppé une ré action granulomateuse au niveau d'un tatouage.Mé thodes et ré sultats: Un patient souffrant depuis 6 ans de sarcoïdose pulmonaire a dé veloppé un granulome sarcoïdosique au niveau d'un seul pigment du tatouage. Un survol des cas rapporté s de granulome sarcoïdosique au niveau d'un tatouage et une exploration de la pathogenè se de ce processus sont effectué s.Conclusion: Le granulome sarcoïdosique peut se dé velopper dans un tatouage comme ré action locale isolé e ou comme signe d'une sarcoïdose systé mique. La ré action peut entraîner une meilleure compré hension de la pathogenè se des sarcoïdoses.

“…and ). Several investigators have reported the concurrence of this latter type of reaction in tattoos together with the pulmonary hilar lymphadenopathy characteristic of sarcoidosis . Evidence that this reaction, in the absence of hilar lymphadenopathy, may be merely sarcoid‐like rather than true sarcoidosis, has been demonstrated by the induction of this cutaneous lesion in experimental animals tattooed with cadmium and mercuric sulfide and exposed to the sun …”

“…This last group includes sarcoidal granulomas in the green, blue, or red areas, 4,5 malignant melanoma, 6 reticular‐cell sarcoma, 7 and primary non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma 8 . It is of interest to note that the primary non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma occurred only under the red parts of the tattoo.…”
