Granuloma annulare (GA) is a common, benign, chronic inflammatory disorder, which is characterized by grouped papules in an enlarging annular shape. It has been described in several clinical subtypes, including localized, generalized, subcutaneous, perforating, and erythematous types. Even though generalized, subcutaneous, and perforating types of GA are unusual, there are several reports of those types. However, erythematous or patch GA, has not been reported yet in the Korean literature. Herein, we report a 42-year-old woman with pruritic erythematous patches, which occurred on the extremities without preceding event, and showed typical clinical and histopatologic findings of erythematous GA.
环状肉芽肿（GA）是一种常见的、良性的慢性炎症性疾病，其特征为呈扩大环状排列的成群丘疹。它已被描述为几种临床亚型，包括局限性、泛发性、皮下型、穿通型和红斑型。尽管泛发性、皮下型和穿通型GA并不常见，但仍有关于这些类型的若干报道。然而，红斑型或斑片型GA在韩国文献中尚未见报道。在此，我们报告一名42岁女性，其四肢出现瘙痒性红斑斑块，无前驱症状，且具有红斑型GA的典型临床和组织病理学表现。
