Granuloma annulare (GA), which is characterized by necrobiotic dermal papules, is a benign inflammatory dermatosis of unknown cause. Several morphologic forms of GA, including localized, disseminated, linear, nodular, perforating, subcutaneous, pustular, and arcuate dermal erythema have been reported in the literature. Disseminated GA, a rarely seen form, has been reported to be in association with some hematopoietic and solid malignancies, however, it has been suggested that the exact causative relationship between malignancy and GA is unclear. We present here a 66-year-old female patient with disseminated GA associated with asymptomatic multiple myeloma.
