Sarcoid granulomas can be found in a wide range of diseases and differentiating sarcoidosis from a sarcoid-like reaction may be a challenge. We present a woman with erythematoviolaceous papulonodular lesions located on the ears where piercings were placed. A skin biopsy showing an infiltrate of sarcoid and focal tuberculoid granulomas did not exclude sarcoidosis. There was a slight increase in the level of angiotensin-converting enzyme. Systemic involvement due to sarcoidosis was excluded. Epicutaneous tests performed revealed a strong positive reaction to palladium and nickel, supporting the diagnosis of granulomatous contact dermatitis. There are only a few reports of granulomatous contact dermatitis to palladium with piercings as the source of sensitization. The formation of sarcoid granulomas can represent either a sarcoid-like reaction or a form of cutaneous sarcoidosis, and patch tests are essential in order to establish the diagnosis.

Background: Recurrent or persistently active sarcoidosis is a risk factor for permanent organ damage. Whether this damage is due to accumulated focal injuries or progressive disease extent is not known, as the natural history of chronic inflammation in sarcoidosis is poorly characterized. The objective of this study is to determine the pattern of disease in recurrently active sarcoidosis.Methods: We identified patients with recurrent cardiac sarcoidosis (N = 21) retrospectively from an imaging database, and with recurrent cutaneous sarcoidosis (N = 17) from a prospective registry. The longitudinal patterns of cardiac sarcoidosis were established by findings on cardiac positron emission tomography scans, and of cutaneous sarcoidosis by the validated Cutaneous Sarcoidosis Activity and Morphology Instrument clinical scoring system. Patterns of recurrent disease were compared to baseline findings.Results: Recurrent sarcoidosis occurred in a nearly identical pattern and distribution as baseline disease, and spread of disease was rarely observed for both cardiac and cutaneous sarcoidosis: 97% of heart segments positive on recurrence scans were positive on baseline scans, and only one new region of facial disease was observed. In some cases, recurrence followed years of apparent remission.Discussion: Across phenotypes, and across a long period of follow-up, the extent of sarcoidosis was stable in spite of fluctuations in disease activity. For patients with a demonstrated history of recurrent disease affecting critical organs, our findings support the need for long-term follow-up.
