title: Subcorneal accumulation of Langerhans cells in erythema gyratum repens.
abstract: Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is a cutaneous manifestation of malignant disease. We report an unusual accumulation of activated epidermal Langerhans cells in the upper layer of the epidermis and propose that these cells play an important immunopathological role.
