- Abstract
The authors report the case of a 70-year-old Caucasian woman who, for the last seven years, has suffered outbreaks of facial macular and nodular lesions unresponsive to multiple medical and surgical therapies. Some of the biopsies done at different times involving different lesions evidenced findings suggestive of granuloma faciale. The laboratory and imagiologic findings were within normal limits. Therapy with clofazimine initially associated with oral and intralesional corticosteroids led to the regression of the facial nodules.
