Necrolytic migratory erythema associated with an islet cell tumour of the pancreas.
A man of 59 is described with a characteristic skin eruption, necrolytic migratory erythema, associated with a malignant islet cell pancreatic tumour. There was no definite evidence that this was a glucagonoma although previous reports have suggested that the pancreatic tumour usually associated with necrolytic migratory erythema is always a glucagonoma. The relevant literature is reviewed.
