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.
