Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Actinic granuloma is an annular inflammatory reaction that develops in skin that has had long-term sun-exposure. OBJECTIVES: The purposes of this study were aimed to characterize the clinical and histopathologic features of actinic granuloma. METHODS: Examinations were performed on eight patients with actinic granuloma regarding the age, sex, duration, clinical morphology, distribution, associated diseases, and treatment and course. Histo-pathologic studies of ten specimens obtained from eight patients were performed with special stains, such as Verhoeff-van Gieson, Gomori-Methenamin silver and alcian blue.
