title: Erythrokeratoderma en cocardes.
abstract: The erythrokeratodermas are a distinct but clinically variable group of rare geno-dermatoses, characterized by circumscribed erythematous and hyperkeratotic lesions. All attempts to establish a valid classification have been based on purely clinical and morphologic criteria. Erythrokeratoderma en cocardes, also known as genodermatose en cocardes or Degos' syndrome, was first described by Degos in 1947. The condition is characterized by large round plaques with concentric erythema and scaling having a target configuration, which remit and recur, in addition to scaly plaques as seen in erythrokeratoderma variabilis. A case of this rare genodermatosis is described.
