title: [Infantile gluteal granuloma. Case report].
abstract: A 5 months old infant having "granuloma gluteale infantum" (G.G.I.) is reported. One or more tumorous red-purple nodules on gluteal or on genitocrural area are the usual cutaneus injuries of G.G.I. The histologic aspect resembles pyogenic granulomas. The exact pathogenesis of G.G.I. is still to be defined; nevertheless the use of plastic diaper covers and topical fluorinated steroid preparations seems to have great influence.
