Abstract

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign granulomatous skin disorder presenting as dermal papules arranged in annular or grouped patterns. We highlight a case of a 40-year female patient who presented with multiple skin-colored raised lesions over the upper back, dorsum of both hands and forearms. During the routine investigations, the patient was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Dermoscopy and histopathological examination confirmed GA. The coexistence of GA and diabetes mellitus in this case raises clinical awareness of possible systemic associations in chronic skin conditions.
