[Disseminated granuloma annulare]

Disseminated granuloma anulare is a very rare form of this disease. Usually, the skin is involved on light-exposed areas. Most of the lesions are papules. The granulomas lie subepidermal in the upper part of the dermis. The reason for the publication of a typical case of a 57-year-old woman lies in the difficulties of the clinical and histologic diagnosis. Most of the patients are women in the 4th and 7th decade. Often there is an association with diabetes.
