Abstract
Una mujer de 45 años de edad con antecedentes personales de hipertensión presenta una lesión eritematosa en el cuello durante un año y con un crecimiento progresivo. El examen físico reveló una anular lesión con pápulas eritematosas en el borde. Examen histológico reveló la fagocitosis de las fibras elásticas de las células multinucleadas compatible con anular elastolíticas granuloma de células gigantes. El paciente no presentó ninguna otra manifestación sistémica asociada. El tratamiento con pomada de tacrolimus 0,1 por ciento fue recetado con una muy buena respuesta después de dos meses.
A 45-year-old woman with personal history of hypertension presented with an erythematous lesion in the neckline for a year and with a progressive growth. A physical examination revealed an annular lesion with erythematous papules in the edge. Histological exam showed phagocytosis of elastic fibers by multinucleated cells compatible with annular elastolytic giant-cell granuloma. The patient did not present any other associated systemic manifestation. Treatment with tacrolimus 0.1 percent ointment was prescribed with a very good response after two months.
