Abstract:
The cause of most cases of erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) is unknown. There have been extremely rare reports, clinicopathologically compatible with EAC, occurring in a family. A case of annular erythema, which was indistinguishable from EAC, occurred in a 5-month-old girl and her mother. We propose to consider this a separate entity, `familial annular erythema', rather than take into any familial cause of EAC.
