Introduction

Granuloma annulare, which is subtyped as localized (LGA), generalized, perforating, and subcutaneous (SGA) forms, is a disease entity that is well-known to dermatologists.

The subcutaneous type is known to occur almost exclusively in children. It is the most common benign soft-tissue tumor during infancy and early childhood (Kransdorf MJ. AJR 1995; 164: 395 – 402) and has a strong predilection for the pretibial area.
