Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Subcutaneous GA is a type of GA presented as asymptomatic firm and hard subcutaneous nodules. The predominant site of subcutaneous GA is the anterior lower leg, and it also appears on the ankles, dorsal feet, buttocks, and hands. Generally, subcutaneous GA is occurred in children. A 73-year-old woman presented with a brownish nodule on the right thigh for 2 years. Histopathologic findings showed histiocytic palisades surrounding mucin and degenerated collagen in the subcutaneous tissue. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of subcutaneous GA was made. Herein, we report a rare case of subcutaneous type GA on the thigh which was occurred in the old age.
