Recurrent Disseminated Granuloma Annulare - A rare case report
Abstract
Abstract : Granuloma annulare is a common benign
dermatosis of unknown cause. Of the different subtypes,
Disseminated granuloma annulare is one variety known for its
peculiar features like prolonged course, poor response to
treatment, etc. It is characterised by multiple erythematous
papules and plaques distributed all over the body. We report
a case of recurrent disseminated granuloma annulare with
different morphological lesions in a single patient in whom,
the diagnosis was made after serial skin biopsies. The
disease was brought under control with steroids and dapsone
in this case.
