Agree, Granuloma faciale. I read recently an interesting paper correlating Granuloma faciale with IgG4-related disease.

[font=Palatino Linotype, serif][size=4][size=4]Scalp is not a typical site for granuloma faciale. Only to run away from general agreement I will suggest epithelioid hemangioma (angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia) reasoned on vessels lined by plump endothelial cells.[/size][/size][/font]

Granuloma faciale - although there doesn`t seem to be a clear Grenz zone.

Thanks all. I called this granuloma faciale too but I had not seen such a florid and deep example either. However it has pretty much all the typical features (can't remember if I saw siderophages but agree Perl's can be nice in such cases). Eduardo Calonje's team presented a retrospective review of 34 cases at the BSD/BAD meeting last week in Liverpool (abstract is probably available on line in the BJD, Vol 169; Suppl 1, Jul 2013) with IgG4 and basically there was no evidence for any association.

Regards to all and enjoy your weekends.
