Scar sarcoidosis following rituximab therapy
Drug‐induced sarcoidosis has been rarely described but it constitutes a potential side effect of immunomodulatory medications. We report a case of rituximab‐induced scar sarcoidosis and review similar published cases. Although there is evidence of B‐cell dysregulation in the pathogenesis of sarcoido...
