Erythema annulare centrifugum is one of the figurate erythemas which clinically presents by annular, polycylic, erythematous plaques which is characterized by scaling behind the progressing edge. It is considered to be a hypersensitivity reaction to an antigen. Various etiological factors like cutaneous or systemic infections, drugs, malignancy, pregnancy are considered. Hereby we report a case of erythema annulare centrifugum which was treated for long period of time considering to be a dermatophytosis. This report highlights the need to be vigilant for diagnosing this condition in patients presenting with erythematous annular plaques.

“…These diseases can be differentiated from cutaneous NLE by their migrating course, lack of central atrophy, presence of peripheral lesions, long duration, and unusual history of new lesion development after the disappearance of lesions at different locations. 24 Langerhans cell histiocytosis may present with pustular, purpuric, petechial, vesicular, or papulonodular lesions, and may appear similar to those of NLE. The majority of patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis are found to have multi-system disease affecting the liver, spleen, and/or bone.…”

Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is a rare autoimmune condition caused by transplacental passage of maternal IgG autoantibodies to the fetus. It often presents with erythematous annular lesions on the scalp and periorbital area that appear after exposure to sunlight. Clinicians should be aware of the broad manifestations of neonatal lupus erythematosus, including cutaneous, cardiac, hematologic, hepatic and neurological manifestations. We present a case of cutaneous neonatal lupus erythematosus with rare central nervous system findings and perform a literature review on the subject.

A previously healthy 8-month-old Hispanic boy presented with a 5-day history of an erythematous, non-pruritic papular eruption on both legs. The eruption was initially diagnosed as impetigo by his primary care practitioner but progressed despite trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole therapy, with extension to the face, trunk, and all extremities. When the patient subsequently developed a fever of 100.8° F, emesis, diarrhea, and upper respiratory symptoms, he was referred to the pediatric dermatology clinic for evaluation. Further questioning revealed a 3-day febrile illness 6 weeks prior to presentation that was treated with ceftriaxone. Review of systems failed to identify any hematuria, blood in stool, or abdominal pain, but the parents did report swelling of the extremities and face, as well as decreased oral intake. On examination, the infant was in no apparent distress, afebrile, and had mild rhinorrhea. His mucous membranes were unaffected, and no lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly was noted. Cutaneous exam revealed numerous edematous erythematous to violaceous plaques on the cheeks, arms, buttocks, and legs with minimal involvement of the trunk. Several lesions on the arms had a distinct cockade (rosette or iris-like) pattern. There were no vesicles, bullae, or necrosis. Edema of the bilateral lower extremities was noted. Laboratory work up revealed a normal complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel, creatinine, and urinalysis. Platelets were borderline elevated at 439 TH/μL (140-440 TH/μL), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein (CRP) were minimally elevated at 22 mm (0-15 mm) and 3.1 mg/dL (0.0-0.99 mg/dL), respectively.
