ResumenEl granuloma anular es una enfermedad granulomatosa benigna con diferentes manifestaciones clínicas que incluye la forma localizada, generalizada, perforante, subcutánea, en parche, papular y lineal. El granuloma anular papular umbilicado es considerado una variante de la forma papular y en la literatura anglosajona se han reportado muy pocos casos. Se presenta el caso de un adolescente con pápulas eucrómicas asintomáticas en el dorso de las manos desde la infancia. La biopsia sugirió liquen nitidus, posteriormente la correlación clínico-patológica permitió hacer diagnóstico de granuloma anular papular umbilicado. Se resalta la importancia de este diagnóstico diferencial y la cronicidad de las lesiones.Palabras clave: Granuloma anular, papular, umbilicado, liquen nitidus, correlación clínico-patológica. PAPULAR UMBILICATED GRANULOMA ANNULARE IN AN ADOLESCENT AbstractThe granuloma annulare is a benign granulomatous disease with different clinical manifestations including, localized, generalized, perforating, subcutaneous, patch type, papular and linear types. Papular umbilicated granuloma annulare is considered to be a variant of the papular type and in the Anglo-Saxon literature very few cases have been reported. We describe the case of an adolescent with asymptomatic skin colored papules on the dorsal aspect of the hands since infancy. The biopsy suggested lichen nitidus and after the clinicopathological correlation the diagnosis of papular umbilicated granuloma annulare was made. We highlight the importance of this differential diagnosis and the chronicity of the lesions.Key words: Papular, umbilicated, granuloma annulare, lichen nitidus, clinicopathological correlation. GRANULOMA ANULAR PAPULAR UMBILICADO EM UM ADOLESCENTE ResumoO granuloma anular é uma doença granulomatosa benigna com diferentes manifestações clínicas que inclui a forma localizada, generalizada, perfurante, subcutânea, em parche, papular e linear. O granuloma anular papular umbilicado é considerado uma variante da forma papular e na literatura anglo-saxã foram relatados muito poucos casos. Apresenta-se o caso de um adolescente com pápulas acrômicas assintomáticas no dorso das mãos desde a infância. A biopsia sugeriu líquen nitidus, posteriormente a correlação clínico-patológica permitiu fazer diagnóstico de granuloma anular papular umbilicado. Destaca-se a importância deste diagnóstico diferencial e a cronicidade das lesões.
