Abstract:
Granuloma annulare (GA) is usually a benign, self-limiting, granulomatous, chronic dermatosis of an unknown cause, characterized by skin colored papules that often have an annular configuration. Generalized granuloma annulare (GGA) is an uncommon variant of GA, and this is characterized by disseminated papules on the trunk and limbs. We report here on an interesting case of GGA that clinically presented as erythema annulare centrifugum.
