Abstract

Granuloma faciale (GF) is a rare benign inflammatory dermatosis that usually develops as a solitary brownish-red plaque on the face. It clinically mimics and is often misinterpreted as, sarcoidosis, lupus erythematosus, lupus vulgaris, lymphoma or basal cell carcinoma.Dermoscopy, which is valuable for evaluation and differentiation between malignant and benign skin tumors, allows better visualization of dermal vascular structures and color variations. In this context, it might serve as an adjuvant diagnostic tool in the differentiation of inflammatory disorders, too. In the current manuscript, we present the dermoscopic features observed in a lesion of GF and discuss them in correlation with the underlying histopathological alterations.
