This study details a rare case of perforating granuloma annulare presenting with generalized pustular lesions. Histology confirmed a dense neutrophil infiltrate, distinguishing it from typical presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Histopathology
  • Granulomatous Diseases

Background:

  • Perforating granuloma annulare (PGA) is a rare granulomatous skin condition.
  • Typically, pustular lesions in PGA are histologically characterized by necrobiotic material, not true neutrophils.

Observation:

  • A case of an 84-year-old man with a 13-year history of recurrent generalized asymptomatic pustular lesions is presented.
  • Histological examination revealed necrobiosis, palisading granulomas, transepidermal/follicular elimination of necrobiotic material, and a dense neutrophil infiltrate.

Findings:

  • This case is the first reported instance of perforating granuloma annulare exhibiting recurrent generalized pustular lesions with a dense neutrophil infiltrate.
  • This finding challenges the conventional understanding of pustule formation in PGA.

Implications:

  • This case expands the histopathological spectrum of perforating granuloma annulare.
  • Further research may be needed to understand the pathogenesis of neutrophil infiltration in this variant of PGA.
