Granuloma faciale (GF) is an uncommon benign chronic skin disease of unknown origin characterized by single or multiple cutaneous nodules, usually occurring over the face.[1]:836 Occasionally, extrafacial involvement is noted, most often on sun-exposed areas.
History
GF was first described in 1945 by John Edwin Mackonochie Wigley (1892–1962).[2]
Differential diagnosis
The disease mimics many other dermatoses and can be confused with conditions, such as sarcoidosis, discoid lupus erythematosus, mycosis fungoides, and fixed drug eruption.[citation needed]
