title: [Cutaneous manifestations of mediterranean periodic disease. Concerning an observation. Review of the literature (author's transl)].
abstract: Méditerranean Periodic Disease is frequently encountered in non-aschenazic Jews and in Armenians. Aside from the classic triad of pseudo-palustral febrile crises, paroxysms of abdominal and articular pain, and a biological syndrome of inflammation; cutaneous manifestations were noted in 25 to 35% of the cases according to various authors. The most commonly encountered lesions consisted of erysipel-like plaques and subcutaneous nodules. We observed the case of a 47 years old Armenian male, afflicted with Mediterranean Periodic Disease for 30 years in which the dermatologic symptoms are quite classic aside from a vitiligo having progressively appeared since 15 years. Possibly a coincidental association, but to the best of our knowledge, which has not as yet been reported.
