Granulomatous Rosacea- A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Granulomatous (lupoid) rosacea is a rather rare form of rosacea. Clinically it is characterized by numerous brown-red papules or little nodules on a diffusely reddened, thickened skin localized mostly on the face. Epitheloid granulomas of the noncaseating type are the histopathological equivalent of these lesions, giant cells are rather rare. Multifactorial aetiology has been suggested. The disease requires special care, treatment with oral antibiotics or isotretinoin is necessary in most cases. A case of granulomatous rosacea is presented. A 58-year-old man suffered from red papules on the forehead and right cheek and slight erythema and teleangiectasias on the nose and cheeks. A therapy using peroral isotretinoin had a positive effect. No side effects of the therapy were found, and a complete healing of the papules was achieved. The patient is still being followed up; he is still undergoing a maintenance therapy and following all the rosacea protection measures.
