| Abstract |
|
Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji is a rare type of erythroderma of the elderly and consists of flat-topped erythematous papules that coalesce, forming diffuse sheets that characteristically spare skin folds (so called 'deck-chair' sign). The etiopathogenesis of the disease remains unknown, but a number of cases have demonstrated the connection of this disorder with malignancy, mainly cutaneous T cell lymphoma. We report a case of papuloerythroderma of Ofuji unassociated with underlying malignancy, with the biopsy specimen showing nonspecific eczematous findings. There are cases of papuloerythroderma of Ofuji associated with malignancy, and one needs to be mindful of such in examinations. |
