Granuloma annulare is a benign, idiopathic, inflammatory dermatosis characterized clinically by dermal papules and annular plaques. We describe the case of a 40-year-old man who presented with a long history of multiple nodules on the left pinna. Histological examination revealed the typical necrobiotic granulomas of granuloma annulare. The condition predominantly affects the extremities of children and young adults; cases involving the pinna are extremely rare. Nodular lesions are common in otolaryngological practice, and this case illustrates the need for careful clinical assessment and appropriate biopsy in diagnosing lesions of the outer ear
环状肉芽肿是一种良性、特发性炎症性皮肤病,临床特征为皮肤丘疹和环状斑块。我们报告一例40岁男性病例,其左耳廓有多个结节病史较长。组织学检查显示典型的环状肉芽肿坏死性肉芽肿。该病主要累及儿童和年轻人的四肢;累及耳廓的病例极为罕见。结节性病变在耳鼻喉科临床实践中很常见,该病例说明在诊断外耳病变时需要仔细的临床评估和适当的活检。
