Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is a cutaneous condition characterized by a chronic, painless, solitary nodule, reminiscent of an acne nodule, appearing on the cheeks of young children. [1]: 502 It has a prolonged course, but spontaneously heals. [2]
Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is defined by persistent, painless, reddish-violet nodules on the face that have an elastic or soft consistency. [3] The nodules usually appears alone, usually on the cheeks or eyelids, and goes away on its own after an average of 11 months. [2]
Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma's pathogenesis is still unknown, however some writers have suggested that it might be related to the childhood rosacea spectrum. [4] [5]
Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is diagnosed clinically, though color Doppler ultrasonography can be helpful. [6] This displays a well-defined, hypoechoic, solid-cystic dermal lesion without any calcium deposits; the lesion's largest axis is parallel to the skin's surface. [7]
