Signs and symptoms
Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is defined by persistent, painless, reddish-violet nodules on the face that have an elastic or soft consistency.[3] The nodules usually appears alone, usually on the cheeks or eyelids, and goes away on its own after an average of 11 months.[2]
Causes
Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma's pathogenesis is still unknown, however some writers have suggested that it might be related to the childhood rosacea spectrum.[4][5]
Diagnosis
Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is diagnosed clinically, though color Doppler ultrasonography can be helpful.[6] This displays a well-defined, hypoechoic, solid-cystic dermal lesion without any calcium deposits; the lesion's largest axis is parallel to the skin's surface.[7]
