RESUMO
RESUMO Objetivo: Apresentar um caso de dermatite perioral granulomatosa (DPG) com acometimento extrafacial e resposta terapêutica satisfatória ao uso de macrolídeo oral por curto período. Descrição do caso: Escolar de nove anos, sexo feminino, com quadro exuberante de DPG com acometimento extrafacial. Durante o período de evolução, submeteu-se a múltiplas terapêuticas ineficazes, apresentando melhora significativa das lesões após o uso de azitromicina por cinco dias. Comentários: A DPG é uma afecção dermatológica inflamatória representada por erupções papuloeritematosas em região perioral, nasal e periorbitária, mais comum em crianças e adolescentes. Raramente estende-se à região genital, ao tronco e às extremidades, caracterizando o comprometimento extrafacial. De etiologia ainda desconhecida, parece apresentar correlação com uso de corticosteroides tópicos e outros agentes.
ABSTRACT Objective: To present a case of granulomatous perioral dermatitis (GPD) with extra-facial involvement and good response to short-term treatment with oral macrolide. Case description: A 9-year-old girl presented with exuberant GPD with extra-facial involvement. During follow-up, she received multiple ineffective therapies, but showed significant improvement of the lesions after the use of azithromycin for five days. Comments: GPD is an inflammatory dermatological condition represented by papulo-erythematous eruptions on perioral, nasal and periorbital regions, more prevalent in children and adolescents. It rarely extends to the genital region, trunk, and extremities, which characterizes its extra-facial manifestation. Its etiology is unknown, but it seems to have a correlation with the use of topical corticosteroids and other agents.

BACKGROUND: Perioral dermatitis (POD) is a common inflammatory skin disease without standard therapy. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the clinical value of a soothing fluid for the treatment of POD. METHODS: We included 51 patients with POD in this 8-week clinical trial. The Toleriane Fluide Efficacy in Perioral Dermatitis (TOLPOD) study had an open-label design and involved twice-daily application of Toleriane Fluide, a soothing cosmetic fluid. Clinical assessment of POD was performed with a predefined questionnaire including the POD severity index (PODSI). Control visits were made after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. RESULTS: The results were compared with those of a historical control group treated with a vehicle cream. Patients treated with the soothing fluid showed a continuous and significant improvement of the PODSI over time. The improvement of PODSI observed with the soothing fluid was better, but not significantly better, than that observed in the historical controls. In addition, the subjective complaints of patients such as disease burden, itching, distension of the skin, and appearance improved during treatment. CONCLUSION: A soothing fluid could be a clinically useful treatment option for POD.

A 54-year-old female developed symmetrical, grouped, perioral papules affecting the perioral area for four years. Histologic examination revealed spongiosis and edema in the follicular infundibulum. Mild mononuclear cell exocytosis and perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltration were seen. In addition, granulomatous areas were present. She had used topical corticosteroid intermittently and no associated systemic abnormalities. We made diagnosis that this condition was granulomatous perioral dermatitis, which began to resolve in about three weeks after oral doxycycline and topical metronidazole treatment.

We herein report a case of a 12-year-old Korean girl with multiple, discrete, monomorphic, flesh-colon, papular eruptions on the perioral, periocular, and perinasal areas of 7-month duration. Histopathologic examination revealed upper dermal and perifollicular granulomatous infiltrate.

Perioral dermatitis is a facial dermatoses affecting the nasolabial folds, the chin, and the upper lip with sparing of a rim of skin at the vermilion border. The classic distribution is of the perioral area, but the glabella, eyelids and even forehead may be affected. In the patients with the periocular variety, the history, course, and response to treatment are exactly the same as in those with classic perioral dermatits. Herein, we report a case of perioral dermatitis involving the eyelids in a 23-year-old man who had used topical corticosteroids but experienced symptom aggravation and improvement after doxycycline treatment.

Childhood granulomatous perioral dermatitis(CGPD) is a distinctive granulomatous form of perioral dermatitis of unknown cause with a benign and self-limited course and no associated systemic manif estations. It is characterized by an asymptomatic monomorphous papular eruption, with or without scale or pustules, around the mouth, nose, and eyes primarily in prepubertal children. This condition may resemble sarcoidosis both clinically and histologically. A 3-year-old boy first presented with a month-history of mildly pruritic rash around the mouth. When he returned for follow-up after an eight-week period of topical corticosteroid therapy, multiple new follicular papules and pustules developed. Histopathologic examination revealed that a granulomatous lesion consisted of nodular infiltration of multiple histiocytes admixed with lymphocytes in the dermis. The condition resolved in about three weeks after using an unknown topical agent prescribed by a private practicing dermatologist.
