Abstract

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a common, benign, chronic inflammatory disorder, which is characterized by grouped papules in an annular shape. It has been described in several clinical subtypes, including localized, generalized, subcutaneous, perforating, and erythematous. Herein, we report a 65-year-old woman with pruritic erythematous patches, mimicking mycosis fungoides, which occurred on the abdomen and thights and showed typical clinical and histopatologic findings of erythematous GA.
