Again, most is performed preclinical years. majority schools would like have more...
Primary immunodeficiency disorders, such as ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), may rarely be associated with cutaneous granulomas without an identifiable infection. The authors report a case of 3-year-old boy A-T who presented two persistent ulcerated erythematous nodules. Histopathology was consistent granulomatous process secondary to A-T, infectious origin. Partial improvement noted clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream applied twice daily under occlusion. Of note, the presence multiple...
Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare granulomatous disorder characterized by cells in the dermis phagocytosing damaged elastin fragments.We report case of 71-year-old man presenting with erythematous plaques predominantly sun-exposed areas.A diagnosis AEGCG was made based on clinical and histologic picture, treatment systemic steroids initiated.
