It may involve internal organ besides the skin such as eye, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. anthogranuloma in adult is usually solitary and dose not involve organs other than skin, and generally dose ncit resolve without treatment. Histopathologically, characteristic Touton giant cells usually appear numerously.
