Sumario:A 59-year-old woman reported a 20-day history of slightly scaly erythematous infiltrated patches on her palms and soles with a histopathological result which was consistent with interstitial-pattern granuloma annulare, clinically classified as patch granuloma annulare.

The patient evolved with a complete remission of the lesions after biopsy and the use of high-potency topical corticosteroid.
