*Abbreviated ''RN''.

===Gross===
*Usually on the extensor aspect of the extremities, e.g. dorsal aspect of elbow.<ref name=Ref_Derm53>{{Ref Derm|53}}</ref>

===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_DCHH299>{{Ref DCHH|299}}</ref><ref name=Ref_Derm52>{{Ref Derm|52}}</ref>
*Necrotic collagen bundles with fibrin surrounded by:
**Palisading [[granuloma]].
*+/-Eosinophils.
 
Notes:
*Histomorphologically very similar to ''[[Granuloma annulare]]''.
 
DDx:
*[[Granuloma annulare]] - has mucin in the core of the granuloma.<ref name=Ref_Derm52>{{Ref Derm|52}}</ref>
*[[Necrobiosis lipoidica]].

===Sign out===
<pre>
Lesion (subcutaneous), right index finger, excision:
- Palisading granulomas with cores of necrobiotic collagen, consistent with rheumatoid nodule.
</pre>
 
====Micro====
The sections show foci with strands of necrobiotic collagen surrounded by palisading granulomas. Rare Neutrophils are seen in the core of the granulomas. Multinucleated cells are not apparent.
 
Benign fibroadipose tissue and dense connective tissue are also present.
