Five patients with annular lesions of the face, scalp, and other exposed surfaces were studied using the radial triple zone biopsy technic. Interestingly, one of the patients had necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum (NLD) and another had systemic sarcoidosis. Clinically, the lesions were annular patches with erythematous borders and hypopigmented centers. The histopathology of the lesions showed many multinucleated giant cells, (often with prominent asteroid bodies), histiocytes, lymphocytes, scattered epithelioid cells, total lysis of elastic tissue, no necrobiosis, and absence of both mucin and lipid. This entity can be differentiated from granuloma annulare (GA), NLD, and cutaneous sarcoidosis. It is identical with several previously described entities; we propose a more appropriate term: "annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG)."
