Abstract

Actinic granuloma (O'Brien) is an annular inflammatory reaction that develops in skin after long-term sun-exposure. Anetoderma is characterized by discrete skin lesions that appear to be loose and wrinkled. The primary type arises in clinically normal skin, and the secondary type appears in lesions of other disorders. We describe a case of anetoderma that developed on the neck, both arms and calves, and showed histopathological findings of actinic granuloma.
