Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2014 Jul-Aug;30(4):e92-5. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0b013e3182a22b03.

Abstract

Granuloma faciale is a rare dermatopathologic condition that presents as brown-red plaques, nodules, or papules primarily on the face, with the potential for extrafacial and mucous membrane involvement. A case of an 83-year-old woman with periocular granuloma faciale accompanied by a marked anterior uveitis is presented; an association of periocular granuloma faciale with anterior uveitis has not been previously reported.
