Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis is an uncommon disorder. In its original description, the presence of linear inflammatory indurations on the lateral aspects of the trunk (the rope sign) in association with arthritis were considered the pathognomonic clinical features. Later cases presenting with plaques and papules have been reported. Herein we describe a case of interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis without the rope sign. The present case supports the idea that interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis may have variable clinical appearances.
间质性肉芽肿性皮炎伴关节炎是一种罕见的疾病。在最初的描述中，躯干侧面出现的线性炎性硬结（绳索征）伴关节炎被认为是其特征性临床特征。后来有报道称出现斑块和丘疹的病例。在此我们描述一例无间质性肉芽肿性皮炎伴关节炎绳索征的病例。本病例支持间质性肉芽肿性皮炎伴关节炎可能有多种临床表现的观点。
