| dc.description.abstract | Granuloma faciale (GF) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown origin characterized by nodular or granulomatous lesions on the face in adults. It is now regarded as a variant of vasculitis in which eosinophils are particularly numerous. It remains a benign, though chronic condition, not associated with systemic lesions like other forms of vasculitis. We report a case of 24-year-old male who presented with multiple erythematous nodules on photoexposed areas since past 2 years. The patient had been previously treated for Hansen’s disease for 3 months but with no relief. The patient responded wonderfully to intralesional triamcinolone and topical tacrolimus after two initial failed attempts with intralesional cryotherapy. | en_US |
