Possibly drug-induced palpable migratory arciform erythema

Possibly drug-induced palpable migratory arciform erythema*

Palpable migratory arciform erythema is an entity of unknown etiology, with few published cases in the literature. The clinical and histopathological features of this disease are difficult to be distinguished from those of Jessner's lymphocytic infiltration of the skin, lupus erythematous tumidus and the deep erythema annulare centrifugum. We describe here the first two Brazilian cases of palpa...

Glucagonoma and necrolytic migratory erythema.

blood tests were normal except for glucose: 145 mg/dL. Baseline plasma glucagon levels were 1200 pg/mL. Serum zinc was 97 mcg/dL. An abdominal CT scan showed a large mass involving the body and tail of the pancreas. A distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed and no evidence of metastatic disease was observed. The skin rash cleared within a week after the operation and the patient re...

Glucagonoma syndrome associated with necrolytic migratory erythema.

INTRODUCTION glucagonoma is a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor derived from alpha-cells of the islets of Langerhans. It is marked by tumoral autonomous production of glucagon and characterized, among other symptoms, by necrolytic migratory erythema, an erythematous circinate lesion with areas of necrosis and sloughing. This is a rare disease with worldwide incidence estimated at 1 case per 20 mi...

Drug Induced Oral Erythema Multiforme: a Case Report

Oral erythema multiforme presents with oral and lip ulcerations typical of erythema multiforme but without skin target lesion. The primary attack is confined to oral mucosa but subsequent attacks can produce more severe forms of erythema multiforme involving skin. It is important to distinguish it from other oral ulcerative disorders for early diagnosis and treatment. Here we report a case of o...
