Ofuji's papuloerythroderma. An association with early gastric cancer

The association noticed in our case with early visceral malignancy is the starting point for the consideration of pathological relationships, nosological and prognostic evaluations in regard to this rare dermatosis which is distinctive of elderly people, and underlines the importance of a long-term follow-up of these patients.
