Abstract
- Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (CGPD) is a benign, facial eruption primarily of prepubertal children. It is a distinctive granulomatous process of unknown etiology and is characterized by monomorphic, yellow-brown papules limited to the perioral, perinasal, and periocular regions. The condition is self-limiting and is not associated with systemic manifestations. It can usually be distinguished from sarcoidosis on clinical and histological grounds. We report a case of childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis in a 9 year-old boy who had suffered from pruritic erythematous papules around mouth and eyelids.
