Sarcoidosis Nodules on the Lateral Nasal Osteotomy Lines

J Craniofac Surg. 2016 Sep;27(6):e560-2. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000002866.

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease that manifests as noncaseating granulomas, commonly in the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes. Subcutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis that are caused by granulomas are referred to as specific for sarcoidosis, whereas other lesions are considered nonspecific. The authors present "sarcoidosis nodule formation on the lateral nasal osteotomy lines" in a sarcoidosis patient undergoing rhinoplasty surgery as a rare patient.
