CASTRO, LUIS ANTONIO y BEDOYA, ÁNGELA MARÍA. A CASE OF APPLICATION OF INTEGRAL DERMATOLOGY. rev.fac.med [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.2, pp.58-63. ISSN 0121-5256.
Sarcoidosis is a multifactorial granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. We present a case of a woman who presents with cosmetic concerns of a lesion on the dorsum of the nose. The clinical exploration raises suspicion of granulomatous disease, reason for which reason a biopsy is done confirming her pathology. Sarcoidosis is a chronic disorder that affects multiple organs. Its incidence is unknown but is more frequent in industrialized countries, and majorly affects women between 20-40 years of age. Among its multiple manifestations, pulmonary symptoms are the most frequent, meanwhile the cutaneous manifestations are only present in 20-35% of the cases. The diagnosis is made by clinical-radiographic findings associated to histopathological findings of noncaseating granulomas, even though these are not specific to the disease and other processes must be ruled out.
