Summary
Scarring from burn injuries can result in cosmetic and functional deformities. In
addition, late complications can also occur presenting as other pathology developing
within the scarred tissue. We report a unique case of cutaneous sarcoidosis developing
within a burns scar in an adult male who sustained a burns injury to his torso, right
arm and thigh.
