Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis (IGD) is a rare dermatosis generally seen in the setting of rheumatic diseases, but also hematological disorders, internal malignances, infections, or drug induced. Herein, we report an exceptional case of an IGD with a clear chronological association with tocilizumab onset and cessation in a patient with adult-onset Still's disease. We review the granulomatous cutaneous reactions so far reported with this novel therapy: sarcoidosis, granuloma annulare, and IGD. Tocilizumab is a humanized anti-interleukin 6 receptor monoclonal antibody useful for the treatment of various systemic inflammatory disorders. Lately, it has found useful also for granulomatous diseases such as giant cell arteritis and even a promising response in IGD. Therefore, we believe our case adds the possibility of an IGD presenting as a paradoxical reaction.

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a type of primary immunodeficiency that presents as a heterogenous disorder characterized by hypogammaglobinemia, poor response to vaccines, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, and can have noninfectious systemic manifestations. We performed a single-center, retrospective, observational study of five patients with noninfectious complications of CVID. All patients had CVID as defined by the European Society of Immunodeficiencies criteria and had received intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
