title: The necrolytic erythemas: a continuous spectrum?
abstract: The necrolytic erythemas is a group of disorders with similar histologic and clinical features. The objective of this case report is to present a patient with features of both necrolytic migratory erythema (NME) and necrolytic acral erythema (NAE). These 2 entities appear more likely to be on a spectrum caused by the same underlying process of abnormal liver function and glucagon metabolism.
