“…Our review of published cases of drug‐induced GA‐like reactions was complicated by the inconsistency of specified histological features 3–7 . The case of diclofenac‐associated GA did not show collagen necrobiosis and had a cellular infiltrate of polymorphonuclear cells and eosinophils that appears to be inconsistent with GA 6 .…”

“…It has been established that GA can follow insect bites, sun exposure, trauma and viral infections 1 . Drug‐induced GA has only recently been recognized, with the first report appearing in 1980, in association with gold therapy for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis 3 . There have since been reports involving allopurinol, 4 calcitonin, 5 diclofenac 6 and gold 3,7 (Table 1).…”

A granuloma annulare‐like eruption associated with the use of amlodipine

A granuloma annulare-like drug reaction is a rarely encountered clinical entity. A 64-year-old Caucasian female developed a granuloma annulare-like reaction 13 days after starting amlodipine and cleared within 3 months after drug cessation. The eruption consisted of multiple erythematous pruritic papules, distributed symmetrically over the lateral aspects of the legs and thighs, as well as on both palms. Histology showed focal collagen degeneration and significant interstitial histiocytic dermal infiltrate suggestive of granuloma annulare. We review previously reported cases of granuloma annulare-like drug reactions, in the context of a recently proposed classification for drug-induced interstitial granulomatous reactions.

“…Granuloma annulare (GA) has been found to be precipitated by various agents such as insect bites, tuberculin, tetanus toxoid, herpes zoster, gold therapy, and sunlight. [2][3][4][5] The association of GA and necrobiotic granuloma (NG) with diabetes is well established. 6,7 A similar tissue reaction to hepatitis B vaccination has not yet been reported.…”

“…45 Generalized GA was also reported following hepatitis B vaccine, 46 amlodipine, 47 and topiramate. 48 Gold was reported to induce papular GA. 39,49 Anti-TNF was reported also to induce GA. 41 A case series study assessed 199 patients with RA and 127 with spondyloarthropathies, treated with anti-TNF antagonists. 41 Nine cases of GA were identified (4.5%) in the group of patients with RA: 2 treated with infliximab, 6 with adalimumab, and 1 with etanercept.…”
