Abstract
Granuloma annulare is an idiopathic, palisaded, granulomatous disorder. There are four main clinical varieties of GA of which the subcutaneous type is less commonly encountered. Here, we report a case of generalized subcutaneous granuloma annulare in a 10-year-old boy. This variety is common in children but its generalized form is a rare presentation.
Keywords
