Abstract
Cutaneous silica granuloma is a rarely seen condition that can occur frequently due to traumatic conditions. However, it may be idiopathic. It is generally localized in the face or extremities. The period between the exposure of silica into the body and the formation of the granuloma can change from weeks to decades. Thus, the lesion is often underdiagnosed. The treatment varies between intralesionel steroid injection, sistemic steroids and antibiotics, and surgical excision of the lesion. We present a case with typical findings in this lesion which had been treated by surgical exision. Since we did not find any recurrence both in near and far follow-up periods, we believe that surgical excision is an effective method for the treatment of cutaneous silica granuloma.
