Giant cell granuloma

Gigantocellular granuloma is an infectious and inflammatory granulomatous process, which is a painful lump caused by a bacterial or fungal infection that usually affects the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the face and head. Also known as Darier's disease.

The disease can affect different parts of the body and cause different symptoms depending on the location of the process. In the case of granuloma giganocellularis, the disease is often characterized by swelling and redness of the skin, as well as painful ulcers and ulcers in the affected area. When the disease occurs on the face, it can lead to loss of aesthetic appearance, difficulty making facial expressions, and hearing loss in some patients.

Surgery may be required only in cases where there is significant tissue damage or if the inflammation extends deeper. However, this disease requires immediate treatment as it can lead to
