Abstract:
We report herein a case of subcutaneous granuloma annulare occured in a 3-year-old girl who had 7 subcutaneous nodules on the scalp, lumbar area, buttock, right tibial area and both ankles. liistopathologically, multiple foci of complete and incomplete collagen degeneration surrounded by histiocytes in a palisading arrangement were seen in the subcutaneous layer. Some vessel walls were thickened and infiltrated with inflammatory cells and many eosinophils were scattered among the inflamrnatory cell infiltrate around the palisaiing granuloma. Five of the lesions disappeared spontaneously and other s decreased in size without specific treatment in 2 months.
