Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma

Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is defined by persistent, painless, reddish-violet nodules on the face that have an elastic or soft consistency.^[3] The nodules usually appears alone, usually on the cheeks or eyelids, and goes away on its own after an average of 11 months.^[2]

Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma's pathogenesis is still unknown, however some writers have suggested that it might be related to the childhood rosacea spectrum.^[4][5]

Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is diagnosed clinically, though color Doppler ultrasonography can be helpful.^[6] This displays a well-defined, hypoechoic, solid-cystic dermal lesion without any calcium deposits; the lesion's largest axis is parallel to the skin's surface.^[7]
