Cutaneous granulomas as a presenting sign in ataxia-telangiectasia.
Telangiectasia is the classic cutaneous finding of ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) and is often the physical finding that suggests the diagnosis. We report a patient in whom noninfectious cutaneous granulomas were the presenting cutaneous feature of AT and discuss immunodeficiency syndromes that are associated with similar cutaneous granulomas.
