MIDLINE LETHAL GRANULOMA COMPLICATING PREGNANCY: CASE REPORT
Abstract
ABSTRACT
A case of midline lethal granuloma in a 28-year- old female Nigerian patient is reported. Oral,
ocular and nasal lesions were present and these preceded a spontaneous abortion of a three
month old pregnancy. The clinical course of the disease and its similarity to other
granulomatous diseases, which are generally classified as midline granuloma syndrome, are
highlighted. The prognosis is poor but early diagnosis and treatment appears to improve a
patient’s condition
