ABSTRACT
Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis is a granulomatous disease that's characterized by monomorphous, small papular eruptions around the mouth, nose and eyes. The condition is benign and self-limiting and it is not associated with systemic involvement. We recently encountered a 7-year-old Korean boy with multiple, discrete, monomorphic, papular eruptions of 4-week duration on the perioral, periocular and perinasal areas. Histopathological examination revealed an upper dermal and perifollicular granulomatous infiltrate. He was treated with oral erythromycin and the condition resolved without leaving any scar.
