Sarcoidosis versus foreign-body granulomas.
A 42-year-old man developed a papulonodular exanthema 10 years following an injury from a shell explosion. The differential diagnosis between sarcoid-like, foreign-body granulomas and Boeck's sarcoid was inconclusive by histology, but x-ray spectroanalytic examination revealed silicon particles within the epitheloid cell granulomas.
