[Granuloma annulare disseminatum: successful therapy with fumaric acid ester].
A 64-year old female patient was treated for a therapy-resistant generalized granuloma annulare with fumaric acid esters (Fumaderm initial). One week following begin of therapy with an initial dose of 30 mg per day, the papules had regressed significantly. A 6-week therapy with a final dose of 90 mg Fumaderm initial per day led to a nearly complete healing of the illness.
