Isolated subcutaneous sarcoid-like granulomatous inflammation occurring at injection sites: 3 patients treated successfully with minocycline

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis in which firm asymptomaticto-tender subcutaneous nodules develop secondary to sarcoidal granulomas involving the panniculus. Sarcoidosis implies systemic disease, but subcutaneous lesions may present with absent or mild systemic involvement. Here we report 3 cases of isolated subcutaneous nodules with sarcoidal granulomas after subcutaneous injections that improved after treatment with minocycline.

BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint therapy has dramatically changed the landscape of cancer therapy, providing an efficacious and durable therapeutic option for patients with advanced-stage disease. However, dermatologic toxicities are a well-recognized side effect in patients receiving this therapy. A spectrum of immune related adverse events (irAEs) involving the skin can occur and include immunobu...

BACKGROUND Granulomatous inflammation has been previously reported in association with cancer. Endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a new minimally invasive test for investigating mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The identification of granulomatous inflammation by EBUS-TBNA and the clinical implications of such detection in a series of patients with previo...
متن کاملInvolvement of the IP-10 chemokine in sarcoid granulomatous reactions.
The accumulation of T cells and monocytes at sites of ongoing inflammation represents the earliest step in the series of events that lead to granuloma formation in sarcoidosis. In this study, we evaluated the pulmonary production of IFN-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), a CXC chemokine that stimulates the directional migration of activated T cells. Striking levels of IP-10 were demonstrated in the ...

BACKGROUND Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign, usually self-limiting, dermatosis, that typically presents as asymptomatic, flesh-colored or erythematous papules, frequently arranged in an annular or arciform pattern on the distal extremities. Although localized GA is most commonly observed, a generalized or disseminated form can occur. The etiology of GA is unknown; however, multiple inciting ...

Liquid silicone is inexpensive, minimally antigenic, and likely noncarcinogenic. Its simplicity of use has made it popular as a soft-tissue filler in some parts of the world for patients seeking rapid soft-tissue augmentation of the face, breast, and buttocks. However, multiple reports describe the complications of silicone injections such as cellulitis, abscess, ulceration, and foreign body mi...
