Abstract:
Actinic granuloma presents in chronically sun-damaged skin as normally colored to erythematous papules that coalesce to form centrifugally enlarging annular patterns. Histologically, a granulomatous infiltrate of giant cells and histiocytes is seen to be intimately related to the presence of elastotic fibers in the upper dermis. We report a typical case of actinic granuloma that developed on the V-area of anterior chest in a 59-year-old male.
