Granuloma faciale (GF) is an uncommon benign chronic skin disease of unknown origin characterized by single or multiple cutaneous nodules, usually occurring over the face.^[1]^:836 Occasionally, extrafacial involvement is noted, most often on sun-exposed areas.

History

GF was first described in 1945 by John Edwin Mackonochie Wigley (1892–1962).^[2]

Differential diagnosis

The disease mimics many other dermatoses and can be confused with conditions, such as sarcoidosis, discoid lupus erythematosus, mycosis fungoides, and fixed drug eruption.^{[citation needed]}
