Elastolytic giant cell granuloma is a rare granulomatous skin condition that typically occurs on sun-exposed sites, such as the face, dorsal hands, and neck. Lesions are characteristically annular (ring-shaped) plaques, although a variety of clinical presentations have been described.

Perforating granuloma annulare presents as yellowish plaques or papules on which a crust forms due to the elimination of damaged collagen through the epidermis. Perforating granuloma annulare is usually localised to the hands, but plaques may occasionally arise on any body site, especially within scars.

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare, often self-limiting chronic inflammatory disorder mostly occurring in the sun-exposed areas such as the dorsum of hands, extensor surfaces of arms, face, anterior neck, and upper chest.

The signs and symptoms of granuloma annulare can vary, depending on the type: Localized. This is the most common type of granuloma annulare. The rash borders are circular or semicircular, with a diameter up to 2 inches (5 centimeters). The rash occurs most commonly on the hands, feet, wrists and ankles of young adults. Generalized.

2019年8月12日 · Asymptomatic erythematous annular plaques with atrophic centres on the dorsum of the patient’s hands. Actinic granuloma is a chronic, benign granulomatous condition that affects middle-aged people who have a history of intense sun exposure.

2024年2月22日 · Actinic granuloma is a rare, idiopathic disorder of middle-aged adults that always appears on UV-exposed skin. It is a form of granulomatous dermatosis characterised by annular plaques with central atrophy and raised erythematous margins that are similar to those observed in granuloma annulare.

2011年1月30日 · Actinic Granuloma is found on sun exposed skin with the posterior neck and arms being very commonly affected areas. Clinically, the lesions in Actinic Granuloma resemble typical Granuloma Annulare plaques. The inflammatory process in Actinic Granuloma can extend to non sun exposed areas.

A localized or generalized inflammatory skin disorder characterized by the formation of papules and ring-shaped plaques in the skin. Morphologically these lesions are granulomatous inflammatory processes with central necrosis surrounded by palisading histiocytes.
