Abstract:
We report a case of Winkelmann granuloma in a 63-year-old man. nstopathological findings of the biopsy specimens from the lesions of the ear, finger and iliac crest area were compatible with Winkelmann granuloma. Winkelmann granuloma is a rare disorder showing an association with systemic immunoreactive disorders. Although our patient did not have any definite systemic disease, he had characteristic clinical and histopathological findings of Winkelmann granuloma, arthralgia, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, positivity to the rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibodies. Therefore, we believed that he was strongly suspected to have an unclassifiable systemic immunoreactive disease.
