ABSTRACT
To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (GPD) in adult patients in contrast to childhood GPD (CGPD). We report cases of 9 adult patients with GPD with regards to the clinical and histopathological characteristics and their management. GPD in adults may be an entity that is actually underdiagnosed, especially in middle-aged females. It is a benign disorder, albeit requiring a relatively long-term treatment. Unlike CGPD, GPD in adults is frequently accompanied by pruritus with predilection for the eyelid and should be treated initially with oral medication.
