A tattoo granuloma with uveitis (TAGU) without sarcoidosis

摘要

Y Tattooing is associated with a handful of potential complications. Short-term complications such as pain, pruritus, erythema, or swelling at the tattoo-site commonly occur from local skin trauma. Long-term complications tend to involve infections or immune-mediated reactions such as sarcoidosis. The sudden development of a papulonodular skin eruption affecting a particular pigment ina tattoo is often the initial manifestation of undiagnosed sarcoidosis in these patients. However, ina small number of individuals, the granulomatous change in the tattoo and uveitis occur in the absence of any evidence of sarcoidosis. A case is presented of a tattoo granuloma with uveitis (TAGU) without sarcoidosis. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
