Erythemas associated with essential thrombocythemia.
Two cases of erythemas associated with essential thrombocythemia (ET) are reported. Case 1: A 64-year-old woman, whose ET had been treated with myebronitol for about 10 years, developed erythematous plaques on her trunk after she stopped taking the medicine. Case 2: A 58-year-old man, who had had gallstones and ET, developed annular erythemas on his thighs, arms, and trunk. Operation for the gallstones had no effect on the eruption. In both cases, remission of thrombocythemia induced by myebronitol was associated with the disappearance of these erythemas.
