Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis

Abstract

A 59-year-old woman with arthritis presented to the Skin Institute of New York with a 2-month history of asymptomatic, small, skin-colored papules that erupted symmetrically on the chest, back, and proximal extremities. Histopathologic examination of a biopsy specimen showed findings of interstitial granulomatous dermatitis. Clinical correlation suggested a diagnosis of interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis. No change in the lesions resulted from application of clobetasol 0.05 percent ointment to the affected areas.
