ABSTRACT
Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji is a rare, distinctive clinical entity characterized by a widespread pruritic eruption of coalescence of flat-topped erythematous papules producing an erythroderma with sparing of the skin folds (the 'deck-chair' sign). Other common features of papuloerythroderma are blood eosinophilia, lymphopenia, a raised serum IgE and a nonspecific or eczematous-like histopathologic feature. Its etiology has been reported as variable, and the condition is thus considered as a pattern of cutaneous expression induced by a range of pathological process for systemic disease. We experienced a 71-year-old male patient with a 4-month history of a generalized pruritic eruption which clinical features were compatible with papuloerythroderma of Ofuji. Treatment with systemic steroid resulted in marked improvement.
