Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma is an uncommon granulomatous cutaneous disease that usually affects sun-exposed skin. Non-scarring alopecia is a possible presentation. Although histopathology is mandatory for the diagnosis, dermoscopy may help to narrow down the clinical differential diagnosis. The authors report a case of annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma in the scalp of a female adult patient, showing multiple yellowish/orange follicular dots in a diffuse erythemato-whitish background in the dermoscopy.

Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old woman with several autoimmune and metabolic conditions presented with a painful skin rash characterized by raised, yellow-centered plaques on sun-exposed areas.
- A biopsy revealed specific histopathological features that led to a diagnosis of annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG), a rare inflammatory skin disorder potentially triggered by sunlight exposure.
- The patient showed significant improvement after being treated with ciclosporin, alleviating symptoms like itching and pain, highlighting the challenges in managing AEGCG, which is often resistant to standard treatments.
