Extrafacial granuloma faciale: report of a case and response to treatment

L Castellano-Howard et al. Cutis. 2001 May.

Abstract

Granuloma faciale (GF) is a rather uncommon form of chronic vasculitis that infrequently involves extrafacial sites. Treatment of this disease is extremely challenging. We report a case of GF with extrafacial lesions and a unique response to treatment. The diseases that are clinical and histologic mimics of this disorder, as well as a review of various treatment modalities, are discussed.
