We describe a case of interstitial granulomatous dermatitis ( IGD ) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis ( JIA ) in an 11‐year‐old girl. She complained of erythematous plaques on her thighs and polyarthritis for 1 year. Histopathologic examination revealed the features of IGD . This case indicates that IGD with arthritis can occur in children and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions associated with arthritis in children.
