    Author: Lee HW, Lee MW, Choi JH, Moon KC, Koh JK.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2005 Nov; 53(5 Suppl 1):S244-6. PubMed ID: 16227100.
    Abstract:
    Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare granulomatous skin disease of unknown origin that is characterized clinically by annular patches with erythematous borders and hypopigmented centers and histologically by loss of elastic fibers and elastophagocytosis. We report a case of AEGCG in an 8-month-old boy that was successfully treated with oral tranilast and topical pimecrolimus (Elidel 1.0% cream).
