Definizione
Un pattern granulomatoso corrisponde ad un modello reattivo ad un agente immunogeneticoche non puo’ essere eliminato ed è solo degradato lentamente dal sistema immunitario
Le granulomatosi cutanee appartengono ad un gruppo di malattie che differiscono nella patogenesi e (a volte) nella presentazione clinica e nel profilo istologico.

Definizione
La lesione elementare è rappresentata da una papula ben delimitata di colore roseo che confluisce per formare una placca di forma e grandezza diverse,diviene giallastro alla vitro pressione.
Le forme sono localizzate e diffuse.

The granulomatous pattern is characterized by the macrophages (histiocytes) which become epithelioid and form aggregates of multinucleated giant cells,lymphocytes, neutrophils and/or plasma cells.Necrosis may be present

Consider in this classification histiocytic granulomas”: parasitized histiocytes infiltrate the dermis in a diffuse pattern, without forming well defined granulomas.
Some infections may present this pattern:
leprosy, leishmaniasis or histoplasmosis.

Infections are important cause of granulomatous skinlesions with leprosy as the leading etiology.
Various modes of presentation.
Skin biopsies definitely help for a diagnosis.
Special stains play a supporting role in diagnosis.
Culture and PCR are indicated in certain cases.

Mycobacteria
Mycobacteria are the most common etiologies of necrotizing granulomas, granulomatous response limits the extent of inflammation,activates histiocytes,and forms a rim of histiocytes and peripheral lymphocytes around a necrotic center (Ghonfocus).
Mycobacteria are a large group comprising Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae, Mycobacterium aviumcomplex, Mycobacterium ulcerans, Mycobacterium marinum.
