Ofuji papuloerythroderma: a new European case.
We report a new case of Ofuji papuloerythroderma. There was no obvious sign of lymphoma or underlying malignancy. This is the 7th European case of papuloerythroderma. This recently described clinical entity is characterized by a pruritic eruption of widespread red-brown flat papules sparing the skin folds, with eosinophilia. The recognition, report and follow-up of further cases are necessary to clarify its relationship with paraneoplastic syndromes, hypereosinophilic syndrome, or prelymphoma skin eruptions.
