Am J Dermatopathol. 2010 Jul;32(5):518-20. doi: 10.1097/DAD.0b013e3181c6e14d.

Abstract

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a common dermatosis of unknown etiology, which, in 10%-15% of cases, presents as the generalized subtype. GA has been associated with infections, vaccines, and neoplasias. We describe a case of generalized GA arising in a 50-year-old man with a diffuse infestation by Sarcoptes scabiei.
