Abstract

The article describes a case of skin sarcoidosis that began 3 years later at the site of a colored tattoo with further involvement of the intra-thoracic lymph nodes and pulmonary interstitium in the pathological process. Data on the composition of paints used for tattooing, the role of deposition of antigenic material in the dermis, leading to a specific immune response, are presented. The clinic and diagnosis of this form of sarcoidosis are described in detail.
