Abstract
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.
