Subcutaneous granuloma annulare induced by acetazolamide

A 9‐year‐old boy presented with recurring subcutaneous nodules on both legs and knees temporally related each time to acetazolamide treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension. A biopsy of one of the lesions revealed palisaded granulomas in the hypodermis around necrobiotic collagen and inter...

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case that establishes an association between SGA and acetazolamide.
