[Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma: a case report located in non-sun exposed areas].
Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is an uncommon entity clinically characterized by erythematous annular plaques with atrophic and hypopigmented center, that predominates in sun-exposed zones. The histology shows a granulomatous infiltrate without palisading image, made up of lymphocytes, histiocytes and giant cells, with phagocytosis of elastic fibers, without necrobiosis or mucin deposit. We present the case of a male patient with atypical clinical manifestation on the non-sun exposed skin and AEGCG characteristic histology.
