Sumario:Perforating granuloma annulare (PGA) is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by transepithelial elimination of necrobiotic collagen with granulomas in the dermis. It commonly presents as umbilicated papules or pustules on the extremities and dorsal hands. The distribution of PGA can be described as generalized or localized, with only 9% of patients presenting with a single lesion. Herein, we report an unusual presentation of PGA as a single localized plaque on the forearm that resembled psoriasis.
