Abstract:
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology. Skin involvement has been reported in 12%-27% of patients with systemic disease, and scar sarcoidosis is a form of sarcoidosis developing in previous cutaneous scar areas. Scars due to all kinds of trauma, including surgery, vaccines, cosmetic tattoos, and herpes zoster infection, have been reported to be associated with sarcoidosis. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a mainstay of aesthetic procedure and of surgical rejuvenation of the orbital region. There have been relatively few reported scar sarcoidosis on blepharoplasty scar, considering many blepharoplasty procedures done for the last century. We report a case of 47-year-old woman presented with abruptly forming bilateral scar sarcoidosis on upper eyelid linear scars of 20 years of duration.
