    Author: Kamalpour L, Gammon B, Larsen F, Cashman R, Cockerell C.
    Journal: J Cutan Pathol; 2009 Oct; 36(10):1103-4. PubMed ID: 19602064.
    Abstract:
    The clinical differential diagnosis of violaceous plaques on the face is broad and includes both neoplasms and inflammatory dermatoses. We report the first case of a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) superficial to an underlying granuloma faciale (GF). This is a single case report with clinicopathological correlation. Histological examination of a skin biopsy from the cheek revealed superficial BCC and GF. This case constitutes the first reported finding of coincident GF and BCC.
