Abstract:
We report a case of pityriasis rotunda occurring in a patient with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The patient was a 64-year old female who had a pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The skin lesions were asymptomatic, multiple, various sized (1 to 15cm in diameter), isolated or confluent and finely scaly light brownish to grayish colored patches on the lower abdomen, back and thigh. Histopathologic findings shawed mild hyperkeratosis, atrophy, loss of granular layer, increased melanin pigments in basal layer of the epidermis and mild perivascular monocytic infiltration in the upper dermis.
