  • Title: Perioral dermatitis with epithelioid cell granulomas in a woman: a possible new etiology.
    Author: El-Saad El-Rifaie M.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1980; 60(4):359-60. PubMed ID: 6163288.
    Abstract:
    Perioral dermatitis, a distinctive clinical entity yet of obscure etiology, is not uncommonly seen among Saudi middle-aged females. A case of a 30-year-old woman with a perioral lupoid micropapular erythematous eruption is described. Histopathological examination showed evidence of granulomatous sarcoidal reaction similar to that described by Gianotti et al. (3), Gianotti (2), and Georgouras & Kocsard (1). Synthetic acrylic fibre meshes widely used by Arabian women to cover their faces, are considered in the etiology of this eruption.
