Granuloma faciale: a rare disease from a dermoscopy perspective

Abstract: The granuloma faciale is a rare and benign skin disease of unknown etiology, characterized by chronic leukocitoclastic vasculitis. It is characterized by skin lesions predominantly facial whose course is chronic and slowly progressive. The diagnosis is based on clinical features, histopathology and, more recently, in dermoscopy. We describe the case of a male patient, 40 years old, with a sarcoid lesion on the malar site, whose histopathological examination revealed a mixed inflammatory infiltrate with presenc… Show more

“…10 Este método vem se mostrando útil no diagnóstico de doenças até então pouco relatadas, como o caso do granuloma facial, sendo vários os trabalhos recentes que mostram como a dermatoscopia pode ser benéfica neste diagnóstico (). Num caso do Brasil, 11 a avaliação dermatoscópica evidenciou um fundo rosa, com algumas áreas enegrecidas, estrias brancas em diferentes direções e proeminentes orifícios foliculares, tal como num caso da Grécia, 12 em que além de aberturas foliculares dilatadas e vasos lineares ligeiramente arboriformes atravessando toda a superfície da placa, também foram observadas agregações dispersas de pontos acastanhados num fundo avermelhado. Corroborando ainda estes achados, uma referência americana 1 relatou ainda áreas translúcidas e acinzentadas, sem estrutura, entremeadas por estrias ortogonais esbranquiçadas e a presença de telangiectasias focadas e alongadas.…”
