EP 18 | Sarcoidosis

Tracy was 40 years old when she first noticed a raised bumpy area on her forehead just above her eyebrow. After the lesion didn't resolve on its own she saw a dermatologist for further evaluation.

For 10 years, Tracy was treated with ablative therapy where the dermatologist would burn these lesions off. Although she was never given a formal diagnosis, the dermatologist believed that they were warts and removal was required.

This treatment left scars, and the lesions kept returning. Then, on a chest x-ray unrelated to her lesions her doctors found her diagnosis.
