[Granuloma annulare after herpes zoster: isotopic response].
A 33 year-old woman was seen with a localized zosteriform papular eruption in a Th7 dermatomal distribution. The patient experienced neuralgic pain. A skin biopsy demonstrated palisading granulomatous dermatitis and a diagnosis of granuloma annulare after a subclinical herpes zoster infection was made. "Isotopic response" describes the occurrence of a new disorder at the site of another, unrelated, and already healed skin disease.
