    Author: Trotoux J, Vilde F, Bassot V, Angelard B, Clavier A.

    Abstract:
    This is an analysis of 4 patients with suspicion of centro-facial granulomatosis. Diagnosis is difficult, mainly based upon clinical data, without precise histopathological presentation. The main differential diagnosis is Wegener's granulomatosis. The etiology of centrofacial granulomatosis is still unknown but multiple theories have been proposed: systemic disease, lymphoma. In one case, the initial histopathological diagnosis was undifferentiated carcinoma and the patient received chemotherapy (i.e., Adriamycin, Vincristine, Bleomycin and Steroids). A complete response was achieved. The interest of chemotherapy in the treatment of centro-facial granulomatosis is discussed.
