“…The histopathologic pattern of sterile neutrophilic folliculitis has been described previously by Magro and Crowson 25 as a reaction pattern that reflects systemic disease. Clinical features that should raise suspicion for cutaneous WG in patients with pyoderma‐like lesions or ulcerations include facial involvement (especially periauricular lesions), absence of typical PG features (no undermined violaceous borders, erythema or necrotic centers), serologic ANCA positivity, other disease associations and the development of systemic signs and symptoms of WG 4,15,26–29 …”

[65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73] Ulceration over the temple may resemble cranial arteritis, requiring careful clinicopathologic correlation and ANCA testing to confirm WG. 74 Other diagnostic entities to be considered in the differential diagnosis of WG include cutaneous Crohn's disease, especially in those patients with oral lesions.…”
