title: Hemilateral distribution of papular lesions on the buttock histologically resembling granuloma gluteale infantum.
abstract: Two Japanese girls had small grouped papules on the buttocks without diaper dermatitis or bacterial or fungal infection. These granulomas spontaneously regressed over two weeks, even though oral antibiotics were administered. We discuss this variant of granuloma gluteale infantum of Tappeiner et al.
