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. The development of granulomatous lesions within tattoos is a well-recognized phenomenon in patients with sarcoidosis. The characteristic histology shows non-caseating granulomas; however similar findings may be seen in foreign body granulomas. 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.
结节病是一种病因不明的肉芽肿性疾病，可能影响多个器官系统。皮肤受累的病例多达三分之一。结节病患者的纹身内出现肉芽肿性病变是一种公认的现象。其特征性组织学表现为非干酪样肉芽肿；然而，异物肉芽肿也可能出现类似的表现。我们报告了一例患者，其纹身的黑色颜料内出现了结节病性肉芽肿，随后诊断为肺结节病。
