A CASE REPORT OF GRANULOMA ANNULARE OCCURING IN UNBALANCED DIABETES: CLINICAL, DERMOSCOPIC, HISTOLOGICAL AND THERAPEUTIC FEATURES.

Abstract

Granuloma annulare is a benign, inflammatory dermatosis of uncertain etiology, classically presenting with localized or generalized, skincoloured to violaceous, non-scaly, dermal papules/nodules which may be discrete or coalesce to form annular or roundish plaques. While granuloma annulare is a benign disease, little is known about its pathophysiology, etiology, and comorbidities. Furthermore, its treatment remains poorly standardized. This case of granuloma annular highlights the importance to look for associated diseases.
