Combined immunodeficiency disorders are characterized by abnormalities in cellular and humoral immunity. This classification includes common variable immunodeficiency (CVI), a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections, and significant T-cell abnormalities. Associated autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, pernicious anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and systemic lupus erythematous. Granulomatous lesions in lymphoid tissues, solid organs, and skin have been reported. We describe a patient with CVI who developed cutaneous granulomas with perineural invasion; to our knowledge, this is a previously undescribed feature.
