Sarcoidose cutânea sobre cicatrizes: relato de caso

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown origin, in which non-caseating granulomas (small inflammatory nodules) are found in the affected organs. Cutaneous involvement occurs in 25% of cases with a wide range of clinical presentation. The onset of scars is unsual although clinically characteristic of cutaneous sarcoidosis. Most patients with scar sarcoidosis have a systemic disease. It is reported the case of a 65 year-old woman that developed scar nodules 20 years after she had had surgical procedures without systemic manifestations. It is worth mentioning the importance of investigating sarcoidosis with inflammatory alterations in praevia scars.

O envolvimento cutâneo ocorre em 25% dos casos, com grande polimorfismo lesional. O acometimento de cicatrizes é incomum, porém clinicamente característico de sarcoidose cutânea. A maioria dos pacientes com sarcoidose cicatricial tem doença sistêmica. Relata-se o caso de uma paciente de 65 anos, que apresentou nodulações sobre cicatrizes 20 anos, após a realização de procedimentos cirúrgicos, sem manifestações sistêmicas. Salienta-se a importância de se investigar sarcoidose em cicatrizes prévias, com alterações inflamatórias.

Scar Sarcoidosis Developed after Blepharoplasty in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patient

“…We don't know the exact mechanism for this, but different pre-operation state of upper eyelids, surgeon's skill or different post-operation care could be the reason for the asymmetric appearance of scar sarcoidosis. Similar to our case, Mantese et al3 reported the patients who was diagnosed with scar sarcoidosis that developed only part of the scars. Although the patient had blepharoplasty, hysterectomy and caesarean, she had sarcoidosis on left upper eyelid and on the left lateral side of infra-umbical scar.…”
