Granuloma faciale – analysis of 5 cases",
abstract="  Introduction  : Granuloma faciale (GF) is an uncommon inflammatory dermatosis. The treatment of GF remains a challenge considering the unclear aetiopathogenesis. Various therapeutic methods have been described.      Aim  : To analyse the clinical picture and treatment results in a group of patients with GF.      Material and methods  : Five adults with GF were analysed and treated. Diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. Patients were treated with surgery, cryosurgery, topically with corticosteroids and tacrolimus. The follow-up period varied from 5 to 15 months.      Results  : Complete resolution was observed in 3 cases, partial remission was noted in 1 case. In 1 case the treatment was unsuccessful.       Conclusions  : The treatment of GF remains a challenge. It is difficult to determine the most effective therapy. Topical tacrolimus and cryosurgery seem to be the first line treatment.",
