چکیده
EN: erythema nodosum ENM: erythema nodosum migrans INTRODUCTION Erythema nodosum migrans (ENM) is a rare clinical variant of erythema nodosum (EN). It is a septal panniculitis characterized by asymmetrical, mildly tender, nodules that migrate over time. Fever, sore throat, or arthralgias may also accompany the cutaneous manifestations of the disease; however, this is uncommon. The treatment of choice for ENM is potassium iodide. We present a case of a 77-year-old woman with a 5month history of ENM that was treated successfully with topical clobetasol.
