Sarcoidosis is a non-infectious granulomatous disease of unknown etiology in which environmental, infectious, immunological, and genetic factors appear to be correlated. Clinical manifestations can occur in any organ, however there is predominance in the lungs and in intrathoracic lymph nodes. The cutaneous involvement of the disease occurs in roughly 25% of cases, with cutaneous filling procedures figuring as a potential trigger. The authors of the present article report a case of a patient who had granulomatous lesions on the face following cutaneous filling with hyaluronic acid. In the investigation of cutaneous lesions, the patient presented diagnostic criteria for sarcoidosis, with extensive pulmonary involvement.
