Abstract
Granuloma annulare is a benign, non-infectious cutaneous granulomatous disease. Its pathogenesis is not completely elucidated but has recently been thought to involve immunologic and cytokine receptor signaling dysregulation. This includes the involvement of both Th1 and Th2 pathways as well as Th17 and Th22 axes and the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of the transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway. First-line treatment is typically intralesional or topical corticosteroids, however, these therapies do not always provide consistent, long-term efficacy for all patients. The successful use of therapies that target the specific inflammatory and immunologic mechanisms that underlie the pathogenesis of GA has been described. Here we describe a case of long-standing GA treated with tapinarof cream 1% applied once daily for 30 days. To our knowledge, this treatment has not yet been adequately described in the literature.
