An operative approach to the treatment of refractory cutaneous nasal sarcoid: a case report and review of the literature.
The treatment of cutaneous sarcoid is often frustrating, because lesions may be refractory to treatment, or recurrent. There is little information in the literature regarding the surgical treatment of cutaneous sarcoid. Such treatment may become necessary in cases that do not respond to systemic treatments and create functional impairments. We present a 7-year follow-up of a patient with cutaneous nasal sarcoid that was successfully treated surgically.
