Abstract

Patch-type granuloma annulare is a rare variant of granuloma annulare, thus which represents diagnostic challenge. It has an unknown incidence and occurs most often in women between 40 and 70 years of age. It presents similar associations and responds to treatment as the clinical variants. We present 5 female patients with patch-type granuloma annulare, who received different topical and systemic treatments, with variable clinical responses.
