Subcutaneous granuloma annulare – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/846824673

Subcutaneous granuloma annulare occurs predominantly in children as subcutaneous nodules, especially around the anterior aspects of the lower legs, hands, head, and buttocks. In only about a quarter of cases are they associated with classical dermal granuloma annulare. They bear a resemblance both clinically and histologically to rheumatoid nodules but are not associated with rheumatoid disease.
