Granulomatous Rosacea- A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Granulomatous rosacea is a rare chronic inflammatory skin disease with an unknown origin. The role of Demodex follicularum in its pathogenesis is currently proved. Case presentation: We report a case of a 54-year-old Moroccan man with a 3-month history of erythematous, nonpruritic papules on the lateral side around the eyes. Dermoscopy and histology confirmed the diagnosis of granulomatous rosacea. Conclusions: We describe another clinical presentation of granulomatous rosacea with a clinical-dermoscopicpathological correlation.
