Abstract:
A case of 38 year old woman had noted 3 lesions with asymptomatic, reddish brown colored, coin sized, slightly elevated, confluent patches on the right postauri-cular for about 20 years. The infiltrate in the patches felt moderately firm to the touch. the lesions were suspected to be chronic dermatitis group, erythema multiforme or granuloma annulare clinically, but the histopathologic features showed the typical findings of granuloma faciale. Literature was briefly reviewed for the discussion and comparision of clinical features and histopathological findings of author's case with the 2 cases previously reported in Korea.
