(A,B) Symmetric yellow-brown, flat-topped papules localized on the trunk (A) and extremities (B). (C) Dermoscopic finding: orange-yellow homogeneous pigmentation, delicate linear branching, and serpentine vessels. Solitary, red clods are present in some lesions. (D) Dermoscopic finding after 3 months: partially regressed lesions reveal yellow background and linear serpentine vessels. (E) Focally dispersed small dermal granulomas composed of histiocytes and multinuclear giant cells with peripheral arrangement of nuclei (E,F) (H&E, ×100). (F) Focal emperipolesis is noted in giant cells (arrows) (H&E, ×400). (G) Positive immunohistochemical staining of CD68 in granulomas (magnification ×200). Immunohistochemically, granulomas presented with profile CD68+ CD163+/−, and CD1a−.
