title: [Local treatment of disseminated granuloma anulare with a vitamin E emulsion].
abstract: The treatment of granuloma annulare is still unsatisfactory. A number of topical and systemic therapies have been tried, some of which can improve the condition, but serious side effects are possible with those reported so far. We treated a patient with disseminated granuloma annulare by local application of a vitamin E emulsion and achieved a marked improvement within as little as 12 days.
