Granuloma multiforme is an extremely rare condition characterized by multiple confluent annular skin lesions of unknown etiology. Although the first case was reported in Africa, there have been a few additional reports from other regions in Asia. We present a case of granuloma multiforme diagnosed in a middle-aged woman from Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan Province in southwestern Iran. Clinically, the skin lesions were characterized by multiple confluent, skin-colored annular lesions on the trunk and upper extremities. Histologically, the lesions exhibited multiple granulomas at the periphery and a notable absence of elastic fibers in the center. The patient was treated with topical corticosteroids and demonstrated a favorable response.
