Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma (IFAG) is usually a solitary erythematous-violaceous nodular skin lesion located on the child's face. The clinical course is lengthy but benign. Most children heal spontaneously within a few months. Ultrasound examination of the skin using Doppler imaging improves its diagnostic accuracy. We present a 2-year-old girl with IFAG. High-resolution ultrasonography provided a decisive diagnostic conclusion after a five-month course. A high-resolution ultrasound examination provided a decisive diagnostic conclusion after a five-month course.

Keywords: nodular skin lesion, idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma (IFAG), child, ultrasound.
