Granuloma annulare(GA) is an inflammatory benign cutaneous disease of unknown etiology that may manifest different clinical features. The most common presentation or classic form of the disease is manifested as flesh colored, annular grouped papules, commonly involving the hands and feet. Various skin injuries and infections have been reported to trigger GA, including insect bites, warts,...

Granuloma multiforme (GM) is a reactive skin disorder of unknown etiology, characterized clinically by confluent annular lesions and histologically by focal necrobiosis and histiocytic granulomas. GM is significant because of its clinical resemblance to tuberculoid leprosy, with which it can be confused. Here, we report a case of granuloma multiforme from India in a 70-year-old male farmer, wit...

Both clinical and pathologic findings must be considered when diagnosing figurate skin lesions, which are often seen in routine practice. Although a skin biopsy may sometimes be diagnostic, more often the information provided is nonspecific. In an attempt to offer an approach to diagnosing these dermatoses, we have classified annular lesions according to the presence of lymphocytic, neutrophili...

AEGCG: annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma INTRODUCTION Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is an uncommon condition belonging to the family of elastolytic granuloma, which also includes actinic granuloma, atypical necrobiosis lipoidica of the face and scalp, and Miescher’s granuloma. Classification of AEGCG as a distinct entity has been controversial. Although some consider i...

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 ...

INTRODUCTION Actinic granuloma is a granulomatous reaction resulting from longstanding sun damage to the dermis. It is described clinically by the appearance of flesh-colored or pink papules, which classically coalesce into annular lesions. Diagnosis is typically made histopathologically, with findings of granulomatous inflammation associated with elastophagocytosis andmacrophage ingestion of e...

Actinic granuloma is an uncommon granulomatous disease, characterized by annular erythematous plaque with central clearing predominately located on sun-damaged skin. The pathogenesis is not well understood, ultraviolet radiation is recognized as precipitating factor. We report a case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with asymptomatic annular erythematous plaques on the forehead and both che...

Sir, Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology. The most common clinical manifestation is the appearance of skin-coloured small dermal nodules arranged in an annular configuration; however, several clinical variants are known, including papular (1), perforating (2), linear (3), and subcutaneous types (4, 5). We report here a case with papular GA accompanied ...

Granuloma annulare is a benign, inflammatory dermatosis of uncertain etiology, classically presenting with localized or generalized, skincoloured to violaceous, non-scaly, dermal papules/nodules which may be discrete coalesce form annular roundish plaques. While granuloma benign disease, little known about its pathophysiology, and comorbidities. Furthermore, treatment remains poorly standardize...

Generalized granuloma (GA) is an inflammatory benign cutaneous disease of unknown etiology that may manifest different clinical features. The most common presentation or classic form of the disease is flesh colored, annular, grouped papules. They usually are on the extremities especially on the lateral or dorsal surfaces of the fingers, hands, wrists, ankles, and insteps. Several clinical manif...
