title: Secondary erythromelalgia involving the ears probably preceding lupus erythematosus.
abstract: Secondary erythromelalgia is a rare disease characterized by burning pain, marked erythema, edema, and hyperthermia of the affected limbs. Secondary erythromelalgia can be associated with various systemic diseases. Here, we describe a patient who developed secondary erythromelalgia involving the ears and concomitant clinical and laboratory, probably, indicating the initial stage of a developing lupus erythematosus.
