Subcutaneous granuloma annulare in a child: A rare presentation

Abstract

We present a rare case of subcutaneous granuloma annulare (SGA) of the palm in a 3-year-old girl disappearing on removal of a SGA of the dorsum of foot. Though GA is more common in children, subcutaneous type is rare and poses diagnostic difficulty. Very few cases of SGA over the palm have so far been reported. Disappearance of SGA of the palm following removal of a nodule from the foot represents remote reverse Koebner′s phenomenon.
