ABSTRACT
En esta serie de 2 artículos realizamos una revisión de las principales entidades dermatopatológicas que cursan con granulomas. Esta primera parte se ha centrado en la aclaración de los conceptos, la presentación de los tipos de granulomas y de las células gigantes, así como en entidades muy diversas de origen no infeccioso. Algunas de ellas de origen metabólico, como la necrobiosis lipoídica: otras relacionadas con linfomas, como la micosis fungoides granulomatosa, y otras tan extendidas que casi resultan un problema cotidiano en las consultas de dermatología, como la rosácea (AU)
This series of 2 articles on dermatopathologic diagnoses reviews conditions in which granulomas form. Part 1 clarifies concepts, discusses the presentation of different types of granulomas and giant cells, and considers a large variety of noninfectious diseases. Some granulomatous diseases have a metabolic origin, as in necrobiosis lipoidica. Others, such as granulomatous mycosis fungoides, are related to lymphomas. Still others, such as rosacea, are so common that dermatologists see them nearly daily in clinical practice (AU)

Esta es la segunda parte de una serie dedicada a la patología granulomatosa en la biopsia cutánea. Mientras que en la primera parte hablamos, entre otras, de algunas condiciones metabólicas y tumorales, esta segunda parte abordará fundamentalmente patología infecciosa de diversos tipos, junto con otras condiciones relativamente frecuentes en las consultas de dermatología (AU)
Part 2 of this series on granulomatous diseases focuses on skin biopsy findings. Whereas the first part treated noninfectious conditions (metabolic disorders and tumors, among other conditions), this part mainly deals with various types of infectious disease along with other conditions seen fairly often by clinical dermatologists (AU)
