    Summary

    Granuloma gluteale infantum (GGI) is a rare condition often linked to topical corticosteroid use. This review highlights a case in Argentina, suggesting GGI may resolve despite continued steroid treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatrics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Granuloma gluteale infantum (GGI) is a rare granulomatous dermatosis affecting infants.
    • Etiology is often associated with the prolonged use of potent topical corticosteroids in the diaper area.
    • Previous literature suggests a link between GGI and Leiner's erythroderma.

    Observation:

    • This report details the second documented case of GGI in Argentina.
    • The infant presented with typical GGI lesions following a diagnosis of Leiner's erythroderma treated with fluorinated corticosteroid creams.
    • Lesions of GGI appeared suddenly despite prior treatment.

    Findings:

    • Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of GGI.
    • The study reviewed current pathogenetic theories regarding GGI.
    • Interestingly, the observed GGI lesions resolved spontaneously, even with continued application of fluorinated corticosteroid creams.

    Implications:

    • This case challenges the notion that topical corticosteroids are the sole cause of GGI.
    • The spontaneous resolution suggests other pathogenetic factors may be involved.
    • Further research into GGI etiology and management is warranted, particularly regarding the role of corticosteroids.
