title: Erythromelalgia accompanying rosuvastatin-associated myopathy.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Secondary erythromelalgia can occur due to various underlying medical disorders or drug toxicity.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 75-year old male developed acute secondary erythromelalgia following the onset of rosuvastatin use and associated myopathy. The illness was reversible after discontinuation of the pharmacological agent.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Secondary erythromelalgia may occur after rosuvastatin use, but this and other dermatological toxicities are rare.
