Pediatr Emerg Care. 2017 Aug;33(8):e30-e31. doi: 10.1097/PEC.0000000000000591.

Abstract

Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is an inflammatory lesion occurring in otherwise healthy children. We present 3 pediatric patients with different diagnostic-therapeutic paths depending on the ward they were referred to. The lesions regress spontaneously, and medical or surgical treatments are generally not necessary.
