Candida granuloma and sarcoidosis.
Chronic mucocutaneous candidosis has been described in patients with impaired cell-mediated immunity. We describe a female patient with sarcoidosis who developed a Candida granuloma on her upper lip. Moderate impairment of the cell-mediated immunity was detected. Three months' treatment with ketoconazole was successful, but the lesion recurred at the same place after treatment was stopped.
