Abstract
Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma is a rare skin condition of unknown origin characterized by giant cell granulomas with elastophagocytosis and loss of elastic tissue. Sun-exposed areas are most commonly affected. We report on an unusual case of elastolytic granulomas developing in chronic lymphedema of the legs in a female patient with visceral lymphangiodysplasia.
