Chapter 8: Lumps and Bumps

Idiopathic Facial Aseptic Granuloma 

Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma (IFAG) presents as a large, painless nodule on the cheek of children. Usually these are solitary lesions. It has been suggested that IFAG may be a childhood form of rosacea as there is an association with relapsing chalazions, facial telangiectasia, erythema, flushing and conjunctivitis.
