    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign inflammatory skin condition.
    • Typically, GA presents with characteristic annular lesions on the extremities and trunk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe cases of facial granuloma annulare.
    • To investigate the clinical and histological features of GA localized to the face.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Review of clinical presentations and histopathological findings of six patients with facial GA.

    Main Results:

    • Three out of six patients had facial GA without lesions elsewhere.
    • Histological examination confirmed typical GA features in all cases.
    • One patient presented with a recurrent solitary subcutaneous nodule on the face.

    Conclusions:

    • Facial granuloma annulare can occur in isolation.
    • Histopathological confirmation is crucial for diagnosing facial GA, especially in atypical presentations like solitary subcutaneous nodules.
