Erythema gyratum repens, a rare skin condition, often signals underlying cancer. Successfully treating the associated lung cancer in one patient led to the complete resolution of the skin eruption.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Erythema gyratum repens is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome.
  • It is associated with internal malignancy in 82% of cases.

Observation:

  • A case study of a 58-year-old man with erythema gyratum repens is presented.
  • The patient's skin eruption preceded the diagnosis of a 9-mm pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Findings:

  • Pulmonary adenocarcinoma was identified through a malignancy work-up.
  • Surgical removal of the lung carcinoma resulted in the complete resolution of erythema gyratum repens.
  • Commonly associated malignancies include bronchial, esophageal, and breast cancer.

Implications:
