AbstractBackground:Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei is an eruption of discrete red-brown, dome-shaped papules, histologically characterized by epithelioid cell granulomas. The pathogenesis of the disorder remains controversial. Objective:The authors discuss the place of lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei among granulomatous disorders. Methods:This report reviews the available literature and presents 3 patients with lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei. Results:The histopathologic characteristics of lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei – an epithelioid cell granuloma with central necrosis – may be found in granulomatous rosacea, whilst the clinical features and course of lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei are often similar to cutaneous sarcoidosis. Conclusions:We put forward lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei as a distinctive rosacea-like syndrome and not as a granulomatous form of rosacea.Copyright © 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel |
