Abstract

A 60-year-old Caucasian woman with a 15-year smoking history presented with new, asymptomatic, pink lesions that gradually appeared over a period of 6 weeks. Physical examination revealed erythematous annular and nummular plaques on her upper and lower extremities, chest, and abdomen (Figure 1A and 1B). A shave biopsy from the right thigh revealed focal areas of necrobiotic collagen in the superficial portion of the dermis, surrounded by histiocytes, multinucleated giant cells, and lymphocytes, consistent with granuloma annulare (GA) (Figure 2). <superscript>1</superscript> .
