Abstract:
Lupus pernio, a form of cutaneous sarcoidosis usually affecting the face, is often disfiguring and resistant to therapies, both medical and surgical. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of laser therapy for this condition. We describe a case of nasal lupus pernio successfully managed with the flashlamp pulsed dye laser.
