Unilateral scar sarcoidosis after revision blepharoplasty: a case report

Abstract

Scar sarcoidosis is a rare type of cutaneous sarcoidosis that develops at sites of scars caused by surgery, laser treatment, trauma, tattoo removal, herpes zoster, or vaccination but has rarely been reported after blepharoplasty for cosmetic purposes. Most of these reported cases concerned scar sarcoidosis on both sides of surgical sites. However, in our case, it occurred only on the right side, where revision surgery was performed. Histologic examination showed non-caseating granulomatous inflammation consistent with sarcoidosis. Lesions completely resolved within 2 months of treatment with oral prednisolone and intralesional triamcinolone injection. We describe a rare case of unilateral scar sarcoidosis after revision blepharoplasty.
