Abstract:
We report a case of 77-year old male with erythema elevatum diutinum, associated with pancytopenia, which developed on the unusual sites. Erythematous or brownish nodules developed on the face, neck, trunk, upper extremities and tongue. Histopathological examination of skin and tongue lesions showed perivascular infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes and nuclear dusts, and deposition of fibrinoid material within and around the vessel walls. His skin lesions improved slightly with systemic corticosteroid therapy.
