We describe a patient with patch-type granuloma annulare whose lesions resolved after biopsy on 2 occasions. The lesions not subjected to biopsy persisted. There is a paucity of literature on the relation between biopsy and resolution of granuloma annulare, with one frequently cited article implying that biopsy is not related to resolution. We briefly consider possible mechanisms through which involution of lesions of granuloma annulare could result after biopsy or other form of trauma.
我们描述了一名患有斑片状环状肉芽肿的患者，其皮损在两次活检后消退。未进行活检的皮损持续存在。关于环状肉芽肿活检与消退之间的关系，相关文献较少，一篇经常被引用的文章暗示活检与消退无关。我们简要探讨了活检或其他形式的创伤后环状肉芽肿皮损可能消退的机制。
