Autores ResumoDeodorant Stick Eruption (Zirconium Granuloma) of Axillae. Presented byDr. Hermann Pinkus, Monroe, andDr. I. Botvinick. The patient was a 22-year-old white woman whose chief complaint was a severely pruritic eruption in both axillae. The itching and dermatitis began in both axillae in March, 1956. The eruption was first diagnosed tentatively as lichen planus, but did not respond to treatment. The eruption was confined to the axillae, and was somewhat severer on the right side. The hair-bearing area was affected chiefly. The eruption consisted of 1 to 4 mm., yellowish pink papules, which are dome-shaped. Histologic examination of a papule from the right axilla showed a granulomatous infiltration in the upper and middle corium. The infiltrate formed fairly well-defined nodules composed mainly of epithelioid cells and some lymphocytes. A few multinuclear giant cells were present.
