Episodic erythema gyratum repens with ichthyosis and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis without signs of internal malignancy.

Two patients with typical lesions of erythema gyratum repens, peripheral ichthyosis, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and nail changes are described. A non-specific erythrodermic eruption of several weeks' duration had preceded the typical lesions. No signs of internal malignancy were found and the typical gyrate lesions disappeared within some weeks with full restitution of all skin lesions within 6-8 months.

Distribution of polyamines in human epidermis.

Consecutive sections through the epidermis were cut parallel to its surface, and the polyamine (PA) concentration in each section was measured by liquid chromatography. There was a constant decrease in PA concentration (expressed as nmol/mg DNA) from the deepest layer to the more superficial layers. Putrescine showed the greatest increase (+83%) (P less than 0.02). The elevations of spermidine and spermine levels were less marked, respectively +30% (P less than 0.05) and +27% (NS). Proliferating cells in the basal layer possess high polyamine levels and as they mature in the superficial layers their polyamine content decreases.
