Generalized granuloma annulare (GGA) is an uncommon cutaneous disease of unknown origin, characterized by numerous flesh-colored to erythematous papules with or without annular configuration. Clinical associations of GGA with diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases, malignancies, AIDS, and chronic hepatitis C virus infection have been reported. Therapy has been attempted with various modalities wit...

Disseminated granuloma annulare (DGA) is an inflammatory disease that tends to follow a chronic course and is resistant to multiple treatments. We report the case of a 80-year-old woman with asymptomatic lesions that had developed 3 years earlier. The lesions initially developed on the arms, later spreading to the abdomen, back, and legs, and improved during the summer months. The patient had u...

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign inflammatory dermatosis characterized clinically by dermal papules and annular plaques. The pathogenesis of GA is not well understood, although it is thought to result from a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in which inflammatory cells elicit connective tissue degradation. This condition has been seen following the use of several drugs, including tumor ...

The authors present a clinicopathological case of Generalized Perforating Granuloma Annulare with extensive distribution of lesions, which are shown in various stages of development. Pustules, papular lesions in annular and arcuate distribution, erosions covered with hematic crusts, maculopapular atrophic areas and scars were the presentation forms of the disease. The histopathological aspects ...

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a common, benign, chronic inflammatory disorder, which is characterized by grouped papules in an enlarging annular shape. It has been described in several clinical subtypes, including localized, generalized, subcutaneous, perforating, and erythematous types. Even though generalized, subcutaneous, and perforating types of GA are unusual, there are several reports of th...
