Granuloma faciale is a rare skin disorder, characterized by asymptomatic cutaneous nodules on the face without any systemic manifestations. The disorder mainly affects middle-aged Caucasian males. One such case occurring in a young unmarried lady of "Pathan" descent is presented here. The presentation was unusual due to the history of frequent swelling, redness and heat in her nodules without any known stimuli and spontaneous regression of the nodules to the original size in a few hours. The patient was treated with a combination of cryotherapy and intralesional corticosteroids with excellent results.
面部肉芽肿是一种罕见的皮肤疾病，其特征为面部出现无症状的皮肤结节，无任何全身表现。该疾病主要影响中年白种男性。本文介绍了一例发生在一位年轻未婚的“普什图族”裔女士身上的病例。该病例表现不寻常，因为其结节频繁出现肿胀、发红和发热，且无任何已知刺激因素，并且结节会在数小时内自行消退至原始大小。患者接受了冷冻疗法和病灶内注射皮质类固醇的联合治疗，效果极佳。
