Papular variant of actinic granuloma: a case report
View through CrossRef
Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is an uncommon granulomatous skin disease characterized by giant cells in the dermis phagocytosing damaged elastin fragments, found mostly in areas that are more commonly exposed to sunlight. Asymptomatic annular plaques is the most common clinical presentation, although rare reports of a papular variant of AEGCG exist [1, 2]. We report a case of annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma papular variant with a history of allergies and intensive photodamage.
