Abstract:
A review of our cases of granuloma annulare in the hand revealed that it presented as either an annular or subcutaneous lesion, most commonly on the dorsum of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the middle or ring fingers. Lesions were approximately 10 mm in diameter and the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical biopsy. The majority of cases resolved spontaneously within 1 year, and recurrence, though common, did not necessitate a further biopsy.
