Abstract

Case report: We report a case of granulomatous skin reaction after injection of an unknown botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) A preparation. Four years after occurrence of skin lesions, systemic sarcoidosis became manifest.

Conclusion: In addition to injection trauma, the BoNT A preparation may have acted as an immunogenic stimulus leading to cutaneous manifestation of sarcoidosis.

Keywords: Foreign body granuloma; Foreign body reaction; Granuloma; Immunogenetic phenomena; Injection.
