Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma (IFG) is a benign condition that typically presents as asymptomatic nodules on the cheeks of pediatric patients. The underlying etiology of IFG remains unknown; however, increasing evidence supports the theory that IFG may lie on a spectrum with childhood rosacea. Typically, biopsy and excision are deferred due to the benign nature, high spontaneous resolution rates, and cosmetically sensitive location. As biopsy is infrequently used to diagnose IFG, a limited library of histopathologic findings exists to characterize the lesions. We present a single-center retrospective review of five cases of IFG diagnosed by histology after surgical excision.
特发性面部无菌性肉芽肿（IFG）是一种良性疾病，通常表现为儿科患者脸颊上的无症状结节。IFG的潜在病因尚不清楚；然而，越来越多的证据支持IFG可能与儿童玫瑰痤疮相关的理论。通常，由于其良性性质、高自发缓解率以及美容敏感部位，活检和切除手术会推迟进行。由于活检很少用于诊断IFG，因此用于表征病变的组织病理学发现库有限。我们对5例经手术切除后组织学诊断为IFG的病例进行了单中心回顾性研究。
