Case report reveals granuloma annulare presenting as contact dermatitis from occupational exposure to FAZ.
Granuloma annulare is a benign idiopathic disorder of the dermis that has various clinical presentations and an unknown etiology. We discuss a patient who presented with a contact dermatitis that demonstrated granuloma annulare on biopsy. The most likely etiologic agent was a substance known as FAZ (an exhaust product of Kodak DryView laser imaging film), to which the patient was exposed in his occupation.
