Patch granuloma annulare: clinicopathologic study of 6 patients.
BACKGROUND: Granuloma annulare is a common skin disorder that usually presents with smooth papules arranged as annular plaques. Variants, such as disseminated, subcutaneous, and perforating granuloma annulare, have been described. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical and histologic features of a distinct patch form of granuloma annulare. METHODS: The clinical and histologic features of 6 patients with patch granuloma annulare were evaluated. RESULTS: Six women 27 to 72 years of age had patches on the extremities. Two patients also had a lesion on the trunk. Only one patient had annular patches. Histologic examination showed an interstitial infiltrate of lymphocytes and histiocytes with diffuse necrobiosis. CONCLUSION: Patch granuloma annulare is a distinct variant with rather subtle clinical and histologic features. A high index of suspicion both clinically and histologically aids in making the diagnosis.

Milia en plaque of the eyelids in childhood: case report and review of the literature.
Milia en plaque is a rare type of primary milia. Most of the reported cases have occurred around the ears in adults. We report milia en plaque in a 10-year-old girl who presented with symmetrical erythematous plaques studded with milia on the eyelids. Histopathology revealed milia surrounded by a dense lymphocytic infiltrate. Administration of minocycline and manual expression of the milia successfully treated this condition.
