Mycoses. 1993 Sep-Oct;36(9-10):295-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0507.1993.tb00770.x.

Abstract

Chronic mucocutaneous candidosis has been described in patients with impaired cell-mediated immunity. We describe a female patient with sarcoidosis who developed a Candida granuloma on her upper lip. Moderate impairment of the cell-mediated immunity was detected. Three months' treatment with ketoconazole was successful, but the lesion recurred at the same place after treatment was stopped.
