title: Granulomatous periorificial dermatitis.
abstract: Granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (GPD) is a distinct facial eruption in prepubertal children that should be distinguished from granulomatous rosacea, perioral dermatitis, and cutaneous sarcoidosis. We describe a case of GPD and review the key distinguishing features of this condition.
