Abstract
Giant cell hyalin angiopathy (GCHA) is an unusual histologic finding a ssociated with inflammation. The lesion has previously only been repor ted intraorally and is usually preceded by trauma. We report the first case of cutaneous GCHA. The eosinophilic, amorphous material (so-call ed ''hyalin'') stained for light chain products, suggesting that their deposition resulted from a reactive process associated with inflammat ion.
