Summary A 56‐year‐old woman with annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma is reported. She had annular, slowly growing lesions on sun‐exposed areas and the dorsum of one font. Biopsies from both areas revealed a mid‐dermal inflammatory infiltrate with main giant cells engulfing elastic fibres. The current nosological situation of this process is discussed.
