Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Granuloma annulare (GA) is a relatively common benign inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, often self-limited, affecting children and adults. The condition is characterized by several clinical forms of presentation, the most common being an annular plaque, with a marked border, erythematous, and without scales, predominating in the distal extremities. Treatment is indicated for patients who have symptomatic lesions. Case report: this article presents a series of 9 cases of GA in pediatric age. Conclusions: GA is a benign inflammatory disease of unknown origin, with associations that have not yet been confirmed; it occurs in children and adults and has different morphologies, the most frequent being the annular, erythematous, and scaleless.
