Abstract

Granuloma Annulare (GA) is benign, non-infectious granulomatous disease of the skin. It has the form of erythematous plaques or papules arranged in an annular configuration. The lesions are most often located on the extremities but may be located in the generalized form. This presented paper presents a patient with generalized lesions of atypical morphology.
