Abstract
Two female patients presented nodular erythematous lesions overlying a permanent tattooed eyebrow and lip, respectively. Histologic examination showed in both cases epithelioid granulomas in close relation with scattered pigment. Complementary examinations and follow-up disclosed a sarcoidosis. The lesions resolved after treatment with topical steroids and also oral allopurinol in one of the cases. Allopurinol may be an effective treatment for granulomatous reactions to foreign body particles.Entities:
