Superficial granulomatous pyoderma (SGP) is a form of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) characterized by superficial ulceration and chronic course. To date it has been described as a condition with specific histopathological findings. We report a new case with clinical characteristics of SGP and describe why we believe that the histological changes previously described are not typical of this entity.
Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is an uncommon but distinctive dermatosis characterized by marble-like swirls of erythema and a thin covering scale over the trunk, axillae and groins which has been associated with malignancy. Bronchial carcinoma has been the most frequent neoplasm associated. A case of EGR in a 50-year-old man with carcinoma of the lung is reported. The onset of dermatosis preceded the discovery of the neoplasm by 9 months. Oral corticosteroids induced the disappearance of the skin lesions. No recurrence was observed after discontinuation of the treatment. The patient died 1 year after the onset of dermatosis.
