          Abstract

          Granuloma Gluteale Infantum (GGI) is a rare condition of unclear etiology,[ 1] presenting as asymptomatic cherry red nodules in the diaper area appearing in the setting of primary irritant contact dermatitis.[ 2] A 50 day old infant with GGI is presented to emphasize that the condition may be easily missed, and that it may result from the misuse of fluorinated topical steroids used to treat a rash in the diaper area. This is the first case reported from Saudi Arabia.

          Perianal pseudoverrucous papules and nodules after surgery for Hirschsprung disease.

          Laura Cano, Vicente Briones, Ramón Jové … (1994)
          We report two patients with Hirschsprung disease in whom severe diarrhea and a distinctive diaper dermatitis developed after delayed ileoanal anastomosis. The perianal papulonodular lesions cleared in months or years without specific treatment after resolution of the diarrhea. These perianal pseudoverrucous papules and nodules represent a peculiar form of primary irritant diaper dermatitis, distinct from Jacquet erosive diaper dermatitis and granuloma gluteale infantum.

            Granuloma gluteale infantum: a case report.

            R De Zeeuw, M Van Praag, A P Oranje (2015)
            Granuloma gluteale infantum is a benign disorder with the clinical appearance of "granulomatous" nodules involving the diaper area. It is an uncommon disorder considered a complication of primary irritant diaper dermatitis. A 6-month-old boy with reddish-purple oval nodules located on the right inguinal fold and right buttock diagnosed as granuloma gluteale infantum is presented. A contributing factor in our patient could be a primary irritant dermatitis or a preexisting candidial infection. The name granuloma gluteale infantum is a misnomer since no granulomas are found in these lesions.

              Granuloma gluteale infantum.

              J Kónya, E Gow (1996)
              Granuloma gluteale infantum is an uncommon disorder, the pathogenesis of which remains unclear. Occlusion is a common factor and irritant napkin dermatitis is a frequent association. A six month old female infant with mild napkin dermatitis treated only with a dusting powder is presented.
