ABSTRACT
Actinic granuloma develops in the chronically sun-damaged skin of the neck, face, upper chest or arms. Lesions present as skin colored to erythematous papules and plaques that coalesce to form centrifugally enlarging annular patterns. Histologically, elastolytic granuloma is formed by a dense infiltrate of giant cells and histiocytes with active phagocytosis of elastoclastic fibers on the background of solar elastosis in the upper dermis. We report a clinically rare presentation of actinic granuloma, limited to both hands of a 75-year-old female with colon cancer.
