ABSTRACT

Granuloma faciale is a persistent inflammatory process on sun-exposed skin of unknown etiology. Histologically a dense inflammatory infiltrate with numerous eosinophils, lymphocytes, histiocytes, neutrophils, and small-vessel vasculitis is found in the dermis. Treatment modalities may include intralesional steroid injections, hydroxychloroquine and dapsone, the response is rarely satisfactory. We describe a case of a 49-year old woman.
