Zusammenfassung: | Sir, Granuloma faciale (GF) is an uncommon benign chronic skin disease of unknown origin characterized by single or multiple cutaneous nodules, usually occurring over the face. In the papillary and mid dermis, diffuse, dense, polymorphous, inflammatory infiltrate comprising of neutrophils, lymphocytes and eosinophils was seen along with perivascular polymorphous infiltrate with extravasation of RBC, indicative of vasculitis, consistent with the diagnosis of GF [Figure 3] and [Figure 4]. [11] The clinical conditions to be differentiated include sarcoidosis, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, polymorphous light eruption, Jessner lymphocytic infiltration, lymphocytoma cutis, mycosis fungoides, insect bite reaction and fixed-drug eruption. |
