ISSN 0001-5555 Granuloma annulare (GA) is a common, inflammatory disorder, which is usually considered to have a benign progression. The generalized variant of GA is relatively rare and has been reported in association with diabetes, HIV and some malignant neoplasias, such as breast, cervical, lung, prostate, stomach and ovarian carcinoma. In particular, the relatively rare association of generalized GA with malignant lymphomas is not well-recognized. We describe here the presence of both generalized GA and Hodgkin’s disease (HD) in a 64-year-old woman.
