Familial Granuloma Annulare

Öz

Granuloma annulare is a benign, asymptomatic,  relatively common, often self-limited chronic granulomatos disorder of the skin that can affect both children and adults. The primary skin lesion usually is grouped papules in an enlarging annular shape, with color ranging from flesh-colored to erythematous.  The two most common types of granuloma annulare are localized, which typically is found on the lateral or dorsal surfaces of the hands and feet; and disseminated, which is widespread. Rarely, familial cases of granuloma annulare has been reported. Herein, we report two sisters with annular papules and plaques  diagnosed as granuloma annulare with the clinical and pathological findings.

Granüloma anülare benin, asemptomatik, nispeten yaygın, sıklıkla kendi kendini sınırlayan, hem çocukları hem erişkinleri etkileyebilen derinin kronik granülomatöz hastalığıdır. Primer deri lezyonu çevreye doğru yayılan anüler şekilli grup yapmış deri renginde veya eritematöz papüller şeklindedir. En sık görülen iki tipinden birisi el ve ayak lateral veya dorsallerinde yerleşen lokalize tip diğeri lezyonların yaygın olduğu jeneralize tiptir. Nadiren ailesel granüloma anülare olguları bildirilmiştir. Burada klinik ve histopatolojik bulgularla granüloma anülare tanısı alan anüler papül ve plakları olan iki kız kardeş sunulmuştur.
