 © 2001-2009, DermAtlas | Image Name: | annular_elastic_granuloma_2_040719 | File Type: | jpg | |
| Diagnosis: | ELASTOLYTIC GIANT CELL GRANULOMA, ANNULAR / ACTINIC GRANULOMA | Category: | granulomatous disorder / photosensitivity, photoexacerbated / environmental injury / annular eruption | ||
| Body Site: | face / forehead | Age: | 0 | ||
| Contributor: | Bernard Cohen, MD | ||||
| Description: | red annular papules and plaques with overlying telangiectasias | ||||
| Comments: | This 65-year-old man had a 9 month history of an asymptomatic annular eruption on his forehead. His physical examination also revealed extensive photodamage from chronic intense sun exposure. A skin biopsy revealed granulomatous inflammation most consistent with annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma. | ||||

| Diagnosis: | ANNULAR ELASTOTIC ACTINIC GRANULOMA / ACTINIC GRANULOMA | Category: | photosensitivity, photoexacerbated / annular eruption / atrophy / lumps & bumps (plaques, nodules, tumors) | ||
| Body Site: | neck | Age: | 53 years | ||
| Contributor: | Bernard Cohen, MD | ||||
| Description: | annular plaques with indurated pink borders and atrophic hypopigmented centers | ||||
| Comments: | This 53 year old man had a 2 year history of minimally pruritic slowly enlarging annular plaques on his neck. Skin biopsy showed granulomatous inflammation with giant cells and histiocytes around fragmented elastic fibers in the upper dermis. Several investigators have proposed that annular elastotic actinic granuloma represents an immune response to weakly antigenic determinants on actinically altered elastic fibers. | ||||
