title: [Extensive acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans involving the face].
abstract: We report on an 81-year-old woman suffering from extensive acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans with facial involvement. This unusual manifestation may be related to an immunodeficiency state in the course of multiple malignancies. The cutaneous lesions cleared significantly during an aminopenicillin therapy administered orally over 4 weeks.
