Interstitial Granulomatous Dermatitis Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract

Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis is a rare skin condition that presents with erythematous violaceous plaques mostly associated with pruritus and pain. The etiopathogenesis remains obscure, hence, it is often associated with autoimmune systemic diseases and systemic infections. Herein, we present an anecdotal case of interstitial granulomatous dermatitis in a male patient with immune constellation of systemic lupus erythematosus. A comprehensive review of the literature on the possible pathogenetic pathways and clinical peculiarities is also highlighted.
