Summary

Cutaneous granulomas are rare in primary immunodeficiency. This study details cases in ataxia telangiectasia (AT) and common variable immunodeficiency (CVI), highlighting immune dysregulation and treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

Immunology
Dermatology
Genetics

Background:

Cutaneous granulomas are infrequently observed in patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders.
Immune dysregulation can manifest in various ways, including dermatological conditions.

Observation:

A pediatric case of cutaneous granulomas in ataxia telangiectasia (AT) presented as progressive erythematous plaques.
An adult case of cutaneous granulomas in common variable immunodeficiency (CVI) manifested as a reticulate rash on the legs.

Findings:

Both AT and CVI patients showed disease control with systemic immunosuppression, including steroids and antibiotics.
The AT patient experienced a relapse upon steroid cessation, necessitating pulsed and oral steroids, resulting in scarring.

Implications:

Cutaneous granulomas may represent a sign of immune dysregulation in primary immunodeficiencies.
Broad-spectrum antibiotics combined with systemic steroids are recommended for progressive granulomas in immunosuppressed patients due to potential unidentified infections.
