Annular Lesions

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare granulomatous skin disease of unclear pathogenesis which belongs to the group of disorders in the skin and elastic fibers with similar clinical features of granuloma annulare (GA). This case report is intended to describe a rare hybrid pattern in histopathology demonstrating coexistence of AEGCG and GA. An endocrine disease, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), could contribute to the coexistence of both lesions, and this possibility must be included in the medical investigation.

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare granulomatous skin disease characterized by annular patches with slightly raised borders, hypopigmented and/or atrophic centers found mainly on sun-exposed skin. Histologically, it is characterized by phagocytosis of elastic fibers by multinucleated giant cells. The pathogenesis of the disease is unclear. We report a case of 55-year-old man with AEGCG in association with syphilis, whose condition improved when hydroxychloroquine sulfate and topical tacrolimus were administered over a 2-month period.

Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) which is also called as Giant cell Epulis is one of the most common reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity. There are various etiologies relating PGCG which include local irritation, trauma, tooth extraction, irregular restorations, plaque, calculus, chronic infection & impacted food. One important other etiology of this benign tumor is its origin from periosteum or periodontal membrane. Excision of the lesion completely along with extraction of involved tooth is the option of treatment to prevent recurrence of the lesion in some cases. This case report describes the recurrence of the Peripheral giant cell granuloma even after complete excision in 3 months.Management of recurrent Peripheral giant cell granuloma by surgical excision of the lesion was carried out along with extraction of the associated tooth and curettage of the bone walls. Profuse bleeding after tooth extraction was managed by gel-spun. Periodic recalls doesn’t show any recurrence until one month.
