Abstract
|
|
|
|
Papular elastolytic giant cell granuloma is an unusual variant of annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma, characterized by the development of asymptomatic, multiple, small erythematous papules on both sun-exposed and non-sun-exposed area. Histopathologically, it shows a granulomatous infiltration, accompanied by the absence of the elastic tissue and phagocytosis of elastic fibers by multinucleated giant cell. An 83-year-old man was presented with a 1 year history of multiple erythematous papules on his abdomen and lower legs. Histopathologic finding showed a non-palisading granulomatous infiltration with multinucleated giant cells and engulfing elastic fibers. We, herein, report an unusual case of papular elastolytic giant cell granuloma, which occurred on non-sun-exposed skin.
