    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Periorbital lesions can present a diagnostic challenge.
    • Granuloma annulare is a relatively common inflammatory skin condition, typically affecting the extremities.

    Observation:

    • A 40-year-old woman presented with erythematous, papular lesions on both periorbital areas.
    • Histologic examination revealed palisading granulomatous inflammation.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with periorbital granuloma annulare.
    • This presentation is considered extremely rare in medical literature.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of biopsy for diagnosing unusual periorbital lesions.
    • Granuloma annulare should be included in the differential diagnosis for periorbital papules.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific factors contributing to this rare presentation.
