Abstract
We report a 84-year-old man with a 13-year history of recurrent generalized asymptomatic pustular lesions. Histology revealed areas of necrobiosis surrounded by palisading granulomas and transepidermal and follicular elimination of the necrobiotic material. A dense infiltrate of neutrophils was also found. Although 26% of patients with generalized perforating granuloma annulare have some yellow pustule-like papules, these correspond histologically to the yellow viscous necrobiotic material extruding through the epidermis and not to a real neutrophilic infiltrate. This is the first case report of perforating granuloma annulare with recurrent generalized pustular lesions with a dense infiltrate of neutrophils.Entities:
