Granulomatous eruption after BCG vaccine immunotherapy for malignant melanoma
J Am Acad Dermatol.
1989 Nov.
Abstract
In a patient receiving intralesional bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine injections for recurrent cutaneous metastases of malignant melanoma of the right leg, a striking eruption developed on that limb only. The eruption consisted of multiple 1 to 2 mm, reddish brown, flat-topped papules, with confluence into plaques. Histopathologic examination showed multiple tuberculoid granulomas within the papillary and reticular dermis; special stains and cultures were negative for mycobacteria.
