Generalized granuloma annulare in association with breast carcinoma
Authors
Abstract:
The association of granuloma annulare and some neoplasms is controversial. However, there is an increase in the number of case reports and relevant studies supporting the conceptof granuloma annulare being associated with certain types of hematologic neoplasms and solid tumors.Herein, we describe a 54-year-old woman with a 20-month history of generalized annular lesions that did not respond to conventional treatment and was followed by breast cancer. Only two cases of granuloma annulare and breast cancer have been reported so far in the literature. We believe that these cases emphasize on considering granuloma annulare as a possible paraneoplastic dermatoses.

Granuloma annulare (Gan) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) share common histologic features. In Gan, a disease characterized by the presence of palisading granulomas usually in the dermis, the main alteration is the presence of elastic fiber degeneration and it strongly suggests that the primary target leading to the development of this disorder is the injury to the elastic tissue. On the other ha...
