Abstract

Malignant granuloma of the face, a rare condition with many clinical designations of controversial etiopathology, would in fact appear to correspond, in the majority of recently published cases, to a T malignant lymphoma pathology. The freezing of a sample for immunohistochemical analysis, and more effective therapeutic choices, even though their aggressivity may seem out of proportion to the patient's condition, should make it possible to improve the prognosis of this condition which is still dangerous as the reported case shows.
