  • Title: Laser remodelling of nodular nasal lupus pernio.
    Author: O'Donoghue NB, Barlow RJ.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2006 Jan; 31(1):27-9. PubMed ID: 16309473.
    Abstract:
    Disfiguring nodular nasal lupus pernio is a rare condition that responds poorly to medical management. We have treated three affected patients with carbon dioxide laser remodelling, and report their progress 6 years, 2 years and 16 months following treatment, respectively. Although the abnormal granulomatous tissue was debulked rather than completely excised, the wounds healed within 4 weeks in all patients. The cosmetic results are acceptable and have been maintained in two of the patients, perhaps a reflection of their overall systemic sarcoidosis control.
