  • This case report.

52, female Palms, fingertips Arthralgias Prednisone IDA, multinodular goiter, GERD, migraines, TIA, osteopenia

AOPAGA, Acute-onset, painful, acral granuloma annulare; GA, granuloma annulare; GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease; IDA, iron-deficiency anemia; TIA, transient ischemic attack.

Glabrous/volar skin is highlighted in Bold.

Fingers were assumed to be acral but not necessarily glabrous/volar (eg, palms/soles).

Fingertip and lateral hand lesions are presumed to be on glabrous/volar hand (ie, equivalent to palms/soles).

§

Images included lesions on palmar/volar/glabrous skin.

Individual patient information (eg, age, sex) was not available in this case series.

Intermittent treatment with oral prednisolone did not effectively manage this patient’s AOPAGA as new cutaneous lesions persistently developed.
