ABSTRACT

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma is a rare granulomatous skin disease, clinically similar to granuloma annular, but with different histopatological aspects. In this article, we report a male patient case, with lesions on his arms and nape, which diagnosis was obtained trough anatopatological exam.
