چکیده

Sir, Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei (LMDF) or acne agminata is a chronic inflammatory disorder that occurs singly or in crops on the eyelids, cheeks and nasolabial folds (1). Clinically it consists of multiple indolent bright-red or brown papules. Histologically, it is characterized by dermal masses of tuberculoid granulomas with central caseation necrosis. LMDF is currently widely considered as a variant of rosacea (2). However, in contrast to rosacea, which shows a chronic course, LMDF runs a self-limiting course with spontaneous resolution of the lesions during 12–24 months, often leaving disfiguring scars. The occurrence of LMDF appears to be related to an immune response to the pilosebaceous units (3), suggesting that immunosuppressants would be good candidates for therapy. We describe here a patient with LMDF who was treated successfully with intramuscularly administered triamcinolone acetonide.
