  • resolution of patch type Granuloma Annulare lesions after biopsy
    Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Nikki A Levin, James W Patterson, Luke L Yaoc, Barbara B Wilson
    Abstract:

    Abstract 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. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2002;46:426-9.)

  • Granuloma Annulare in patients with malignant lymphoma clinicopathologic study of thirteen new cases
    Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 1994
    Co-Authors: Sarah Kay Barksdale, Charles Perniciaro, Kevin C Halling, John G Stickler
    Abstract:

    Background: Reports of necrobiotic Granulomas or Granuloma Annulare in patients with malignant lymphoma are rare. Objective: Our intent was to determine any unique clinical or histopathologic features in patients with Granuloma Annulare and lymphoma. Methods: We reviewed the medical records and biopsy material from 13 patients with Granuloma Annulare and lymphoma. Results: Three patients had Hodgkin's disease and 10 had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The Granuloma Annulare lesions showed typical histopathologic features. However, the clinical pattern was frequently atypical, with painful lesions in unusual locations including the palms and soles. Three patients displayed Granulomatous inflammation in noncutaneous sites, either within the malignant lymphoma or in uninvolved tissues, and all three had atypical clinical presentations of Granuloma Annulare. Conclusion: Granuloma Annulare with atypical clinical presentations may be associated with an underlying hematopoietic malignancy and may be part of a generalized Granulomatous reaction to malignant lymphoma.

  • chronic hepatitis c virus infection associated with a generalized Granuloma Annulare
    Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Brigitte Granel A, Jacques Serratrice A, Jerome Rey A, Cozinne Bouvier B, Claude Weillermerli A, Patrick Disdier A, Jeanfrancois Pellissier B, Pierrejean Weiller A
    Abstract:

    Abstract We report the first case of generalized Granuloma Annulare occuring in a 65-year-old woman who was chronically infected with hepatitis C virus. Granuloma Annulare totally regressed during α-interferon treatment. As chronic hepatitis C virus infection is frequent, a serodiagnosis would be of interest in patients who have generalized Granuloma Annulare. A link between these 2 diseases may be strongly suspected. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2000;43:918-9.)

  • Granuloma Annulare perforans in herpes zoster scars
    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1993
    Co-Authors: Dieter Krahl, Wolfgang Hartschuh, Wolfgang Tilgen
    Abstract:

    Granuloma Annulare perforans limited to a thoracic dermatome that was previously involved by herpes zoster occurred in a 51-year-old woman who also had Lennert's lymphoma. Of the various local Granulomatous infiltrates described after herpes zoster, Granuloma Annulare perforans is unique, although ordinary Granuloma Annulare has been described in a few patients. A high incidence of specific and nonspecific reaction patterns in herpes zoster scars has been described in patients with malignant lymphoma. In contrast to previous patients, all of whom had chronic lymphatic leukemia, our patient had Lennert's lymphoma.
