Abstract

A case of Erythema Gyratum Repens in a 76 year old man with bronchiolar carcinoma is reported. The onset of the dermatosis preceded the discovery of the neoplasm. Oral corticosteroids induced the disappearance of the skin lesions. No recurrence was observed after discontinuation of the treatment. The patient died 7 months after the onset of the dermatosis.
