Figurate erythemas (FE) represent an etiopathophysiologically heterogeneous group of diseases defined by their characteristic annular erythematous skin lesions. Diagnosis is made primarily clinical examination together with histological findings; often it a diagnosis exclusion. While some authors discuss FE as reaction pattern rather than distinct entities, others identify four classic FE: eryt...

Abstract Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is a rare, paraneoplastic rash with characteristic woodgrain appearance. It heavily associated malignancies, including lung, oesophageal and breast cancers. However, other conditions can mimic EGR, leucocytoclastic vasculitis, immunobullous papulosquamous conditions. We report an unusual presentation of eosinophilic dermatosis EGR-like pattern, not maligna...

The etiology of purpura in Sjögren syndrome (SS) includes cryoglobulinemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV). The clinical symptoms of LCV associated with SS comprise palpable or nonpalpable purpura and urticarial vasculitis. Here, we report a case of LCV presenting as erythema gyratum repens (EGR)-like purpura in a 62-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and SS...

Dermatophytoses belong to the most common disease entities encountered in everyday dermatological practice. Despite the fact that their clinical presentation, course and treatment response remain rather typical, they often present a considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We present a case of a 54-year-old male who presented to the outpatient clinic of the Department of Dermatology i...

Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is a rare, inflammatory dermatosis of unknown aetiology. The morphology of the eruption is striking and displays rapidly evolving circinate and gyrate bands of erythematous and scaly skin. Although the aetiology of the pattern is unknown, it has previously been noted that the eruption shares morphologic features with the patterns of spatio-temporal chemical concent...
