A 74-year-old white woman was referred to the authors' department with a 1-year history of four large asymptomatic lesions on her thighs, which began as small erythematous patches and subsequently increased in diameter.

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the available information about the clinical variants and histopathologic features, current epidemiologic data, and potential genetic underpinnings of Granuloma annulare.
TL;DR: This focused up-to-date review serves to summarize the latest therapeutic options available for Granuloma annulare and determine a gold standard of care to guide clinical management.
TL;DR: A foreign‐body granuloma formation induced by an unknown inciting antigen is suspected and generalized forms often coincides with recalcitrant progression and frustrated experimental therapies.
TL;DR: A 42-year-old woman with pruritic erythematous patches is reported, which occurred on the extremities without preceding event, and showed typical clinical and histopatologic findings of ery thematous GA.
TL;DR: Patch GA is an uncommon GA variant with an interstitial granulomatous histopathologic pattern that predominantly affects women over 50 and can mimic interstitial MF and early morphea both clinically and histopathologically.
In this paper, atypical herpes zoster presented as a solitary vesicular lesion, and histopathologically, VZV infection was observed both in epithelial cells and hair follicles.
Q2. What type of granuloma annulare is there?
There are several clinical variants of granuloma annulare: localized, generalized, subcutaneous, perforating, linear, and patch types.
Q3. What is the symptom of patch granuloma annulare?
this entity is characterized by an interstitial pattern of mononuclear cellular infiltration with scattered histiocytes between collagen fibers; there is mucin deposition between collagen bundles that can be highlighted by Alcian blue and colloidal iron stains [4].
Q4. What type of lesions did she have?
Examination of the posterior thighs revealed four large (between 3 × 2 cm and 17 × 14 cm) erythematous, minimally scaly, oval patches, with no induration.
Q5. What is the common type of granuloma annulare?
It is reported that patch granuloma annulare will respond to the same therapy as other types of granuloma annulare: cryotherapy, topical and intralesional corticosteroids forEJD, vol. 19, n° 3, May-June 2009 285localized disease, and photochemotherapy, isotretinoin, dapsone, or antimalarials for generalized disease.
Q6. What was the PCR sequence used to amplify the exon1?
As previously reported [6], the genomic regions of the KRT9 gene exon1 were amplified via polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using a forward : K9.E1F : 5’-GGAGGTGACTCTGCTCTTGG
