Abstract
Granuloma faciale (GF) is a rather uncommon form of chronic vasculitis that infrequently involves extrafacial sites. Treatment of this disease is extr emely challenging. We report a case of GF with extrafacial lesions and a un ique response to treatment. The diseases that are clinical and histologic m imics of this disorder, as well as a review of various treatment modalities , are discussed.
