ABSTRACT
Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma is a rare form of granulomatous dermatosis, characterized clinically by annular plaques with slightly elevated margins, and histopathologically by the phagocytosis of elastic fibers by multinucleated giant cells. It typically occurs in sun-exposed areas of the skin in middle-aged women. However, some cases involving unexposed areas have been described. A 57-year-old man had erythematous plaques on both palms accompanied by a sensation of heat for 2 weeks. Histopathological examination revealed granulomatous infiltration with multinucleated giant cells and elastophagocytosis, which is consistent with annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma. Herein we report an interesting case of annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma that occurred on non-sun-exposed skin, palms.
