Granuloma faciale

The development of our present knowledge of granuloma faciale is summarized, and the clinical picture, absence of systemic illness, and distinct histopathologic features are briefly described. The differential diagnoses are noted, and the fact that the histopathologic features can almost always readily confirm the diagnosis of granuloma faciale is pointed out. A patient with eighteen individual lesions on the face in whom response of several lesions to intralesional triamcinolone occurred is presented.
