title: Necrolytic migratory erythema without glucagonoma in a heroin-dependent patient.
abstract: We described a case of necrolytic migratory erythema without glucagonoma in a 33-year-old man. The patient had been heroin-dependent, HIV negative since the age of 23. He had no medical history of note and all the investigations revealed normal parameters. This is the first case of necrolytic migratory erythema without glucagonoma associated with heroin abuse.
