    Author: Raposo I, Mota F, Lobo I, Brandão JR, Selores M.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2017 Jul 15; 23(7):. PubMed ID: 29469708.
    Abstract:
    Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare granulomatous skin disease of undetermined cause, characterized by annular plaques with raised erythematous borders in sun-exposed skin. The typical histologic features are dermal infiltration by multinucleated giant cells, elastin degeneration, and elastophagocytosis. The authors describe a clinical case of AEGCG, which exhibited an excellent response to hydroxycloroquine.
