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 papuloery- throderma of Ofuji associated with malignancy, and one needs to be mindful of such in examinations.
