Abstract
Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is an inflammatory nodule commonly located on the cheeks and eyelids in young children. Despite its prolonged course, it tends toward spontaneous resolution, so invasive diagnostic procedures should be avoided. Cutaneous ultrasound is a noninvasive modality that has been found to improve the diagnostic accuracy of nodular skin lesions. We report five children with idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma in whom high-resolution ultrasound examination provided distinctive findings.Entities:
