Resumen
SANCHEZ TOCINO, H et al. Granuloma annulare of the eyelid: an unusual presentation. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.79, n.8, pp.397-400. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: Granuloma annulare is a benign dermatosis, relatively common during childhood, usually self-limited and of unknown etiology. Localized ocular involvement is rare. We report a case of granuloma annulare involving the eyelid of a child. A biopsy taken from a similar lesion presented later on the back of a thumb confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment with topical corticosteroids was introduced. Discussion: The literature on periocular granuloma annulare is reviewed. This diagnosis should be considered for any acquired papular of the periorbital area, especially if there is a history of antecedent trauma. Unnecessary surgical excision can then be avoided.
Palabras clave : Annulare granuloma; granuloma of the eyelid; granuloma in the childhood.
