  • Title: Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma: A report of 10 cases.
    Author: Arora S, Malik A, Patil C, Balki A.
    Journal: Indian Dermatol Online J; 2015 Dec; 6(Suppl 1):S17-20. PubMed ID: 26904442.
    Abstract:
    Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma initially described by O'Brien in 1975 is a disorder of uncertain etiopathogenesis presenting with annular erythematous plaques predominantly on the sun-exposed areas. Hisptopathologically, it is characterized by elastin degenration, multinucleate giant cells, and elastophagocytosis. The authors came across 10 such cases, which were managed with hydroxychloroquine resulting in complete resolution in 4-6 months.
