[Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma: a case report located in non-sun exposed areas]. / Granuloma elastolítico anular de células gigantes: a propósito de un caso localizado en áreas no fotoexpuestas.

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is an uncommon entity clinically characterized by erythematous annular plaques with atrophic and hypopigmented center, that predominates in sun-exposed zones. The histology shows a granulomatous infiltrate without palisading image, made up of lymphocytes, histiocytes and giant cells, with phagocytosis of elastic fibers, without necrobiosis or mucin deposit. We present the case of a male patient with atypical clinical manifestation on the non-sun exposed skin and AEGCG characteristic histology.

In recent years, the demand for cosmetic interventions to augment soft tissue by injecting different substances has increased, due to their apparent innocuity. However, these procedures are not free from adverse reactions, such as the formation of foreign body granulomas, a phenomenon described in literature with most of the materials used. We report the case of a female patient with inflammatory lesions of the face, whose diagnosis was made after the histopathological study, which revealed a granuloma caused by liquid silicone.

Granuloma por silicona líquida en regiones pretibiales tras su inyección en región glútea / Silicone granuloma in pretibial regions after its injection in gluteal region

En la actualidad, la inyección de materiales en el subcutáneo con fin estético es frecuente. Comunicamos el caso de una paciente con lesiones esclerodermiformesen ambas regiones pretibiales, en cuyo estudio histopatológico se observó un granuloma por silicona. Años atrás la paciente se había sometido ala inyección de un material de relleno en la región glútea. Se trata, por tanto, de un granuloma de cuerpo extraño por silicona que ha migrado a distanciadel lugar de la inoculación. El diagnóstico de este cuadro puede ser difícil. El tratamiento es complicado y, en general, no satisfactorio

Nowadays inoculation of materials for soft tissues augmentation is common. We report the case of a woman with sclerodermiform lessions in pretibialregions, characterized by a silicone granuloma. The histopathologic study in some years ago, she have seen inoculated of an unknown material in glutealregion. This case is a foreing body granuloma caused by silicone migrated from the inoculation site. Diagnosis of this conditions disease may bedifficult, and treatment is often unsatisfactory
