“…Originally, LMDF was thought to be a tuberculid because of the striking resemblance of tuberculoid granuloma with caseation necrosis seen in LMDF to that seen in TB on histopathology. 25 However, the tubercular etiology of LMDF had been questioned for a long time 26,27 and many studies have not supported this association. [27][28][29] Histopathological examination in 17 patients in 1967 showed no tubercle bacillus.…”

“…However, subsequent studies failed to identify any association with mycobacterial infection; histological sections from 17 patients in 1967 demonstrated dermal granulomas in every case, with caseation in four patients, but no evidence of tubercle bacilli in any. 2 In addition, results of the Mantoux test are inconstant, [3][4][5] and the eruption fails to respond to antituberculous therapy. Demodex follicularum has also been reported to cause caseating granulomas, 6 pathogenic factor at one time.…”

“…Ha recibido diferentes denominaciones a lo largo del tiempo: tubercúlides micropapulosas [1], acné agminata [2] y rosácea lupoide [3,4]; nombres que han denotado relación con estas afecciones y con las cuales con el pasar del tiempo ha ido perdiendo su sustento de asociación. Luego de varias observaciones clínicas, histopatológicas y evolutivas varios autores han propuesto el nombre del acrónimo anglosajón FIGURE (Facial Idiophatic Granulomas with Regressive Evolution) que en español sería "Granulomas Faciales Idiopáticos con Evolución Regresiva" [5].…”
