Abstract
A 61-year-old-female with a 4-year history of disseminated granuloma annulare was successfully treated with the antitumor necro-
sis factor (TNF)-alpha antibody, adalimumab. The patient had failed high potency topical glucocorticoids, hydroxychloroquine, and
narrow-band ultraviolet light (UV)-B phototherapy. Anti-TNF-alpha therapy may be a therapeutic option in patients with disseminated
granuloma annulare poorly controlled with conventional medications.
