  • Title: [Deep granuloma annulare in children].
    Author: Ould Abdina A, Mortureux P, Léaute-Labrèze C, Bioulac-Sage P, Taïeb A.
    Journal: Arch Pediatr; 1995 Sep; 2(9):858-60. PubMed ID: 7581782.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The granuloma annulare is a common benign disorder in childhood which may be difficult to recognize in its atypical forms, like deep granuloma annulare. CASES REPORT: Case 1: A 5-year-old girl suffered from subcutaneous nodules occurring on her soles. Open biopsy at the age of 6 years showed typical features of granuloma annulare. These nodules were still present one year later. Case 2: A 2-year-old girl suffered from nodular lesions on the anterior aspect of the lower legs similar to erythema nodosum with spontaneous outbreaks over 6 months. Histological examination showed typical features of granuloma annulare. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnosis of the deep granuloma annulare is often difficult. Its relation with rheumatic nodules which have similar histological patterns is discussed.
