ABSTRACT
Actinic granuloma is a rare chronic granulomatous dermatosis that is characterized by the elastophagocytosis by multinucleated giant cells. This malady presents in middle-aged individuals and it manifests as asymptomatic papules or annular plaques in the sun-exposed area. There are four main histopathologic patterns of actinic granuloma, including the giant cell, necrobiotic, histiocytic and sarcoidal variants. However, there are no previously reported cases of actinic granuloma associated with the histopathologic findings of suppurative granuloma. We herein report on an unusual case of actinic granuloma that showed the histopathologic findings of suppurative granuloma in a 58-year-old female.
