Abstract :
Lichenoid and granulomatous dermatitis is a new entity which is
histologically defined by a band like lymphocytic infiltration in the
upper portion of the dermis with obscuring the dermoepidermal
junction and accompanied by basal layer degeneration and
granulomatous inflammation. Herein, we presented two Iranian
women with similar cutaneous and histopathologic findings. Both
patients had asymptomatic subcutaneous nodules on their hands.
The pathological manifestation in both of them was lichenoid
and granulomatous dermatitis.
Our investigations indicated different underlying causes of the
lesions in our patients. In one patient, the lesion was associated
with hyperthyroidism and in the other one it was accompanied
by rheumatoid arthritis.
