...Thierry M. Nordmann; Joo-Ri Kim; Reinhard Dummer; Florian Anzengruber Background: Granuloma annulare is a chronic noninfectious granulomatous skin condition with variable clinical presentations. Generalized granuloma annulare, defined as widespread disease with >10 skin lesions, accounts for 15...

...Enzo Errichetti; Aimilios Lallas; Zoe Apalla; Alessandro Di Stefani; Giuseppe Stinco Background: Dermoscopy of granuloma annulare has been investigated by several studies, but none of them took into account the variability of dermoscopic findings according to clinical characteristics...

... the dermoscopic patterns of necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) and granuloma annulare (GA) and to compare these findings with other granulomatous skin disorders. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patient data and clinical and dermoscopic images of histopathologically diagnosed cases of NL and GA. Results...

...T. Eichmann The histological relationship between granuloma annulare (GA) and rheumatoid nodules induced the authors to subject 50 patients with GA to a thorough anamnestic and clinical examination, which would permit recording a possible increase in rheumatic morbidity. No connection was found...

...S. Haim; A. Shafrir; N. Haim; C. Lichtig 10 of 16 (62.5%) patients with granuloma annulare presented microangiopathic changes in the skin. The incidence in control groups was 100% in diabetic patients, 40% in old-age patients not known as diabetics and 0 in young victims of road accidents...

...Atsuhiko Ogino; Eiko Tamaki We studied a 53-year-old housewife who had atypical granuloma annulare (GA) which began as erythematous patches on the legs. After 2 months, multiple flat papules, histologically characteristic of GA, developed over the erythematous background. 1½ years later, a typical...

...C. Nieboer; G.L. Kalsbeek Direct immunofluorescence studies in granuloma annulare, necrobiosis lipoidica and granulomatosis disciformis Miescher are reported. In all 29 cases fibrillar deposits of fibrin in the necrobiotic areas have been found. Complement, mainly C3, was present in the region...

...Harald G. Bardach An instance of perforating granuloma annulare was observed in a 42-year-old female patient in which the necrobiotic material in the dermis was eliminated by a hair follicle. This had previously been described by the author in only 1 other case of perforating granuloma annulare...

...Maria J. Willemsen; Arlette L. de Coninck; Marc H. Jonckheer; Diane I. Roseeuw A patient suffering from generalized granuloma annulare associated with mild hypothyroidism due to an atrophic autoimmune thyroiditis is presented. Treatment with thyroxine resulted in the restauration of a euthyroid...

...D.L. Crosby; D.T. Woodley; D.D. Leonard A case of concomitant granuloma annulare (GA) and necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is presented. The etiology of these two disorders remains obscure. The similarity of the histopathology in GA and NL might suggest a common origin. However, a review of the 5...

...E.M. Studer; A.-M. Calza; J.-H. Saurat In a retrospective study including 84 patients, we assessed precipitating factors of granuloma annulare (GA) and asssociated pathologies. Fifteen per cent of the patients reported stress as an important trigger of GA, and in 10 patients (12%) we found...

...H. Ono; H. Yokozeki; I. Katayama; K. Nishioka We describe the case of a 69-year-old man with malignant lymphoma who developed granuloma annulare on his fingers. The number of cutaneous nodules increased when a recurrence of lymphoma was demonstrated during the course of disease. Granulomatous...

...Peter Weisenseel; Alexander Vasilevic Kuznetsov; Sonja Molin; Thomas Ruzicka; Carola Berking; Joerg Christoph Prinz Background: Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign granulomatous and inflammatory skin disorder. The pathogenesis remains enigmatic and convincingly effective treatment options...

...Wen-Rou Wong; Lih-Jen Yang; Tseng-tong Kuo; Heng-Leong Chan We describe a 68-year-old man with plaque stage mycosis fungoides (MF) for 8 years. He developed tumorous lesions of granulomatous MF (GrMF) and generalized granuloma annulare (GA) after a previously indolent clinical course. Since...
