Abstract
We describe a patient with granulomatous slack skin (GSS) who has been followed for 15 years and present clinical, histological, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, cytogenetic, and molecular findings. The clinical and pathological aspects of the 20 cases of GSS reported in the recent literature are reviewed and compared with those of the present case.
