title: [Erythema elevatum diutinum on glans penis is a rare manifestation].
abstract: Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare chronic cutaneous vasculitis, which typically manifests as symmetrical, chronic plaques or nodules on the extensor sides of the extremities, on truncus or nates. We present a case where EED-compatible plaques were located on glans penis. To our knowledge this has been reported only thrice prior to this case. As EED has shown to be associated with a number of underlying diseases such as infections, autoimmune disorders and haematologic disease, it is of great importance to recognize the illness in order to sufficiently screen for known associated disorders.
