Granuloma annulare and mesenchymal cancer. Report of two cases

Abstract

Abstract
Association between granuloma annulare and some neoplasms is controversial. However, there is an increasing number of case reports and correlation studies supporting the concept of granuloma annulare associated with certain types of hematologic neoplasms and solid tumors. Recently, it has
been suggested that granuloma annulare should be included among paraneoplastic dermatoses.
We report two cases of granuloma annulare associated with mesenchymal cancer.
No similar association was found in the national and international literature. The relation between granuloma annulare and cancer is reviewed

(Dermatol Argent 2008;14(2):113-117).

Key words: granuloma annulare, cancer, mesenchymal, neoplasms.
