It is concluded that actinic granuloma is a specific disease characterized by clinical lesions indistinguishable from granuloma annulare, but occurring on solar damaged skin. Histologically, elastic tissue is destroyed by the granulomatous process in actinic granuloma, but not in granuloma annulare.
