Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma: a “visible” diagnosis. Raposo, Inês; Mota, Fernando; Lobo, Inês; Brandão, José Ricardo; Selores, Manuela

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare granulomatous skin disease of undetermined cause, characterized by annular plaques with raised erythematous borders in sun-exposed skin. The typical histologic features are dermal infiltration by multinucleated giant cells, elastin degeneration, and elastophagocytosis. The authors describe a clinical case of AEGCG, which exhibited an excellent response to hydroxycloroquine.
