  • Title: Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma occurring in covered areas.
    Author: Ishibashi A, Yokoyama A, Hirano K.
    Journal: Dermatologica; 1987; 174(6):293-7. PubMed ID: 3622881.
    Abstract:
    A 72-year-old male had 7 erythematous infiltrated areas of 3-7 cm in diameter on the sun-unexposed areas, i.e., the chest, abdomen and inguinal region. While the centers of the lesions were flat and slightly reddish or normal skin-colored, the margins were flesh-colored and elevated, and the lesions were generally annular or of letter C form. An old lesion on the nucha was depigmented, slightly depressed and soft on palpation. Histological sections revealed giant cell granuloma with loss of elastic fibers.
