O’Brien’s Granuloma in a 50-year-old Chinese male
نویسندگان
چکیده
O’Brien’s granuloma is a rare skin disease that presents clinically by grouped red papules that may coalesce into annular plaques on sun damaged skin. The annular plaques have raised erythematous borders (3-5 mm)and slightly atrophic center [1].The hypo pigmented central regions are distributed mainly in sun-exposed areas. The sites of predilection include the neck, face, chest and arms. Early on, skin-colored or pink papules may be identified singly or in small groups before they coalesce into annular plaques. Individual lesions measure 1-10 cm in diameter. A single plaque lasts for months to years, after which spontaneous remission may occur, leaving mottled dyspigmentation or normal-appearing skin [2].
