AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightBecause of the rare occurrence of common granuloma annulare cases with photosensitivity distribution, we present a case of a 49 year-old woman who had generalized granuloma annulare on the neck, dorsal aspects of the hands and extensor surfaces of the arms showing photosensitive distribution and that responded well to topical and intralesional steroid treatment.

Widespread granuloma annulare, diffuse but symmetrically located occurs as papular or annular pustules composed of more than ten and often hundreds of lesions. Because of the rare occurrence of common granuloma annulare cases with photosensitivity distribution, we present a case of a 49 year-old woman who had generalized granuloma annulare on the neck, dorsal aspects of the hands and extensor surfaces of the arms showing photosensitive distribution and that responded well to topical and intralesional steroid treatment.

Yaygın granüloma annülare, diffüz fakat simetrik yerleşimli, 10'dan fazla sayıda ve sıklıkla yüzlerce lezyondan oluşan, papüler veya annüler döküntüler şeklinde ortaya çıkar. Literatürde, fotosensitif dağılım gösteren yaygın granüloma annülare olgularının nadir olması nedeniyle 49 yaşındaki kadın bir hastanın boynunda, kolların ekstansör ve ellerin dorsal yüzlerinde, fotosensitif dağılıma uyan, topikal ve intralezyoner steroid tedavisine iyi yanıt veren jeneralize bir granüloma annülare olgusu sunulmaktadır.
