Abstract |
The introduction into the skin of chemical substances or organic matter can produce sarcoid granulomata. A new granuloma of this type related to wounds produced by the stubble of wheat is described. The diagnosis of this lesion is easy, taking into consideration its localisation in the lower limbs, the wounds caused by stubble, and the identification of intracellular plant material in the granuloma. A host factor of probable immunological nature is suggested. There is similarity between these sarcoid granulomata of the skin and some epithelioid granulomatous lesions of the lung due to the inhalation of chemical substances and organic matter, known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis or "farmer's lung". |
