RESUMO
O granuloma anular elastolítico gigantocelular é dermatose granulomatosa rara, caracterizada, histologicamente, por fagocitose das fibras elásticas por células gigantes multinucleadas e, clinicamente, por placas anulares com bordas elevadas e centro atrófico, com preferência por áreas expostas. A patogênese é controversa. Descreve-se um caso de mulher de 44 anos, com achados clínicos e histológicos clássicos, que apresentou boa resposta à hidroxicloroquina, após o período de 1 mês.
ABSTRACT
Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma is a rare granulomatous skin disease characterized histologically by phagocytosis of elastic fibers by multinucleated giant cells and clinically by annular patches with elevated borders and atrophic centers found mainly on sun-exposed skin. The pathogenesis of the disease is controversial. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with classical clinical and histological findings of the disease whose condition improved when hydroxychloroquine was administered over a four-week period.
