A case of sarcoidosis occurring within an extensive burns scar.
Scarring from burn injuries can result in cosmetic and functional deformities. In addition, late complications can also occur presenting as other pathology developing within the scarred tissue. We report a unique case of cutaneous sarcoidosis developing within a burns scar in an adult male who sustained a burns injury to his torso, right arm and thigh.
