Abstract :
The association of granuloma annulare and some neoplasms
is controversial. However, there is an increase in the number
of case reports and relevant studies supporting the concept
of granuloma annulare being associated with certain types of
hematologic neoplasms and solid tumors.
Herein, we describe a 54-year-old woman with a 20-month
history of generalized annular lesions that did not respond to
conventional treatment and was followed by breast cancer. Only
two cases of granuloma annulare and breast cancer have been
reported so far in the literature. We believe that these cases
emphasize on considering granuloma annulare as a possible
paraneoplastic dermatoses.
