case_images: There were grouped reddish and yellow-brown infiltrative papules, some of which coalesced into plaques scattered over the tattoo (Figures 1a,b).
case_images: Enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the chest with contrast demonstrated a few diffuse reticulonodular opacities in the bilateral lower lobe, bilateral hilar lymph nodes enlargement [the arrows in panels (a,b)], and in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe are some small ground glass nodules.

case_images: Histopathological examination demonstrated non-caseating granulomas with pigment granules and mild lymphocytic infiltration. Black tattoo pigment is seen throughout the granuloma [the arrows in panels (A,B)] [Hematoxylin-Eosin, original magnification x4 (A), x20 (B)].

case_images: A biopsy of yellow-brown plaque within the eyebrow tattoo indicated non-caseating granulomas throughout the dermis consistent with a diagnosis of cutaneous sarcoidosis (Figures 3A,B). Throughout the granuloma, black tattoo pigment was discovered (the arrows in Figures 3A,B).
