Atypical subcutaneous granuloma annulare on the digit: a case report

Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is a benign inflammatory disorder consisting of deep dermal or subcutaneous nodules, and frequently occurring in the extremities and scalp in children. The occurrence of aggregated multiple nodules in a digit is quite atypical. This is a report of an eight-year-old girl who presented with increasingly asymptomatic multiple nodules on her middle finger over a period of six months. Definitive diagnosis of subcutaneous granuloma annulare was achieved with surgical biopsy and no aggressive growth subsequently and showed a tendency toward spontaneous resolution.
