Erythema gyratum repens, a stage in the resolution of pityriasis rubra pilaris?

Abstract: Summary Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is a rare and distinctive eruption which is widely regarded as a marker of internal malignancy (Rook, Wilkinson & Ebling, 1979). We report two cases of pityriasis rubra pilaris which presented in the classical form, but developed EGR during the resolving stage of the condition. Malignancy was not detected in cither case, despite extensive investigation.

Einige Autoren sind der Ansicht, dass die beiden oben genannten Formen auch ineinander übergehen können (5,3 (4,6).

“…Prominent 20 or increasing 60 seborrheic keratoses have been reported in erythrodermic PRP, but with no apparent malignancy as defined in the sign of Leser–Trélat. Resolving PRP has resembled erythema gyratum repens, but again without an underlying malignancy 61 , 62 …”

“…Six cases of PRP resolving with an EGR-like appearance have been previously identified. [2][3][4][5] A proposed etiology of this phenomenon is treatment with retinoids, as all previously reported patients received either systemic (5/6) or topical retinoid (1/6) therapy. [2][3][4][5] This case illustrates that resolving PRP can assume an EGR-like appearance irrespective of treatment and that retinoids are not required to induce this phenomenon.…”
