Key Points

Investigate the link between tattoo swelling and the likelihood of sarcoidosis in uveitis patients.
Reviewed medical records of uveitis patients.
Queried patients about the presence of tattoos and occurrences of swelling.
Recommended chest computed tomography as part of the sarcoidosis workup.
Identified a correlation between tattoo swelling and sarcoidosis risk.
Recommended increased screening for these patients with a tattoo history.

Patients with uveitis should be queried on tattoo presence and whether or not they intermittently swell. A sarcoidosis workup including computed tomography of the chest should be considered for these patients.
