Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

INTRODUCTION: Granuloma annulare is a non-infectious, granulomatous disease that can affect children and adults. Although there are many studies examining adult patients, there are limited studies examining pediatric granuloma annulare cases. It is aimed to examine the demographic, clinical, and pathological features of pediatric granuloma annulare cases in this study.

MATERIALS and METHODS: This study was performed retrospectively in a single-center, tertiary dermatology hospital. Forty-one patients, under the age of 18 who were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic between 2008-2021 and diagnosed with granuloma annulare were scanned from the hospital database and patient photograph archive. Demographic characteristics, and clinical and histopathological features were evaluated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Granuloma annulare; is a non-infectious, granulomatous skin reaction with potential triggers that can affect the adult and pediatric age group. Diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and malignancy have been described in association with adult granuloma annulare cases. While there are studies on the clinical, pathological features and associated diseases in patients with adult granuloma annulare, a limited number of studies have been conducted on pediatric granuloma annulare patients. Therefore, clinical and histopathological evaluation of pediatric granuloma annulare cases was planned in our study.

This study was performed retrospectively in a single-center tertiary dermatology hospital. Patients under the age of 18 who were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic between 2008-2021 and diagnosed with granuloma annulare were scanned from the hospital database and patient photograph archive. Cases with uncertain diagnosis were not included in the study. Cases with dermatological findings recorded in detail and/or diagnosed histopathologically were included in the study. Demographic features, lesion localization, lesion characteristics (size, elementary lesion, color), involvement (localized/generalized), histopathological features, concomitant diseases, differential diagnoses in cases with histopathology, regression time and recommended treatments were recorded.
