Abstract

Although the etiology of granuloma annulare (GA) remains unknown, it has been associated with many reported triggers, including chronic medical illnesses and malignancy. Herein, we present a case of an elderly man with diabetes who has a generalized variant of granuloma annulare. The patient had a six-month history of multiple skin-colored, scattered, itchy papules disseminated over the trunk. Clinical features with histological findings are described. Therefore, this case report aimed to present a rare type of diffuse, eruptive granuloma annulare.
