Abstract
Granuloma Annulare is a benign, cutaneous, inflammatory disorder, characterized clinically by annular, flesh- colored grouped papules.
Incidence is highest in women; over men, it predominates in patients under 30 years of age, and may have a hereditary predisposition.
Granuloma annulare has no confirmed etiology, but is commonly held that its pathogenesis may be a type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction.
The disease has four clinical manifestations: localized, generalized, nodular and perforating.
Histologically the lesions usually demonstrate incomplete collagen degeneration surrounded by palisading inflammatory cells.
A large and varied number of therapeutic modalities have been used for the treatment of the disease but, often, they are unnecessary, because the pathology is self-limiting.
