Özet
Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei (LMDF) is a rarely seen, granulomatous disease of the face with an unknown etiology. Clinically, the disease is characterized by monomorphic, reddish-brown, dome-shaped papules symmetrically distributed on the face. Histopathologically, a perifollicular caseating granuloma is the hallmark. A 20-year-old male patient was referred to our outpatient clinic with multiple papules distributed on his face, and he was diagnosed with LMDF based on histopathological examination. The patient was unresponsive to the oral tetracycline treatment; however, he was successfully treated with systemic dapsone and topical tacrolimus. This is a rare case of LMDF, which showed rapid improvement with dapsone therapy.
