    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare, chronic, non-infectious vasculitis.
    • Characterized by persistent reddish-purple papules, plaques, and nodules.

    Observation:

    • A patient with a 20-year history of EED presented with classic clinical features.
    • The patient experienced EED symptom improvement during pregnancies.
    • The patient developed soft tissue giant cell tumors.

    Findings:

    • The patient showed a dramatic clinical response to dapsone therapy.
    • Pregnancy-associated improvement in EED and the occurrence of giant cell tumors are novel observations.
    • These specific associations have not been previously documented in medical literature.

    Implications:

    • Dapsone remains a key treatment for erythema elevatum diutinum.
    • Pregnancy may influence the course of EED, warranting further investigation.
    • The co-occurrence of EED and giant cell tumors suggests potential underlying pathomechanisms.
