  • Resolving pityriasis rubra pilaris resembling Erythema Gyratum Repens.
    Archives of Dermatology, 1993
    Co-Authors: Kurt Gebauer, Gian Singh
    Abstract:

    To the Editor.— Pityriasis rubra pilaris is a term used to describe patients showing, in varying degrees, circumscribed follicular keratosis, palmoplantar keratoderma, and erythroderma. Griffiths1has classified these patients into five separate types. We describe two patients with type 1, classic adult-onset pityriasis rubra pilaris in whom Erythema Gyratum Repens developed as their eruption resolved. Report of Cases.—Case 1.— A 67-year-old white man had been treated for classic adult (type 1) pityriasis rubra pilaris over the last 6 years. On examination, the patient had erythroderma affecting the majority of his skin. Islands of unaffected skin, about 1 cm in diameter, were scattered between the sheets of Erythema. There was fine scaling on the face and scalp that became thicker as it progressed caudally. The palms and soles were affected by an orange-yellow keratoderma. Follicular hyperkeratosis was most marked over the dorsa of the hands and on the

  • Erythema Gyratum Repens: A Rare Paraneoplastic Rash
    The western journal of emergency medicine, 2011
    Co-Authors: Marina Gore, Michael E. Winters
    Abstract:

    Erythema Gyratum Repens (EGR) is a rare and characteristic, paraneoplastic rash associated with a variety of malignancies, most notably lung, esophageal, and breast cancers. This case report details the appearance, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of EGR. Prompt identification of EGR is essential, as the rash often precedes the diagnosis of malignancy by several months. Urgent patient referral to evaluate for malignancy is crucial, as this may lead to decreased morbidity and mortality.

  • Acrokeratosis paraneoplastica of Bazex as an indicator for underlying squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
    Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Eva-susanne Strobel, Carolin Bouveret, Peter Karl Kohl
    Abstract:

    Purpose : obligatory cutaneous paraneoplastic disorders comprising acanthosis nigricans maligna, Erythema Gyratum Repens, paraneoplastic pemphigus, hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita, Erythema necrolyticum migrans and acrokeratosis paraneoplastica are rare. However, as markers of an underlying internal malignancy they are of utmost importance for the patient. Acrokeratosis paraneoplastica (first described by Gougerot and Rupp in 1922) was named after Bazex who had then reported several cases in a French dermatological journal since 1965 (Bazex et al. in Bull Soc Fr Dermatol Syphiligr 72:182, 1965; Bazex and Griffiths in Br J Dermatol 102:301–306, 1980). Method : the study is a clinical case of a patient with acrokeratosis paraneoplastica. Results : the patient was later diagnosed with a cervical lymph node metastasis and thereafter with a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the left upper lobe and upon treatment responded with the clearing of the skin changes. Conclusion : identification of a paraneoplastic syndrome may enhance the earlier diagnosis of the associated tumor and may thus enable curative treatment.

  • Erythema Gyratum Repens IN ASSOCIATION WITH RENAL CELL CARCINOMA
    The Journal of urology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Ajay Kwatra, R. Emmett Mcdonald, Joseph N. Corriere
    Abstract:

    A 69-year-old Hispanic man had an Erythematous skin eruption of the lower extremities. Initially the diagnosis was pityriasis rosea, and oral and topical corticosteroids were initiated. During the next 2 months the skin eruptions spread to the chest and back despite steroid therapy (fig. 1). They developed into raised Erythematous bands in a wood grained pattern with a trailing edge of desquamation (fig. 2). Mild pruritus was associated with the lesions. The diagnosis was Erythema Gyratum Repens and a search was initiated for an underlying ma-
