    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Granuloma annular (GA) is a benign inflammatory skin disease.
    • It typically affects the extremities but has generalized, perforating, and subcutaneous variants.
    • Histopathology shows mononuclear cells around altered collagen.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Discuss clinical and histologic features of GA subtypes.
    • Provide a differential diagnosis for GA.
    • Review treatment efficacy and pathogenesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical and histopathologic features of Granuloma annular subtypes.
    • Discussion of differential diagnoses.
    • Evaluation of treatment outcomes and proposed pathogenetic mechanisms.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • GA presents with characteristic histopathology.
    • Spontaneous resolution is common, complicating treatment efficacy assessment.
    • No conclusive link to diabetes or solar radiation has been established.

    Conclusions:

    • The etiology of Granuloma annular remains unclear.
    • Vascular injury and delayed-type hypersensitivity are potential contributors to GA pathogenesis.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the cause of this skin condition.
