Ofuji papuloerythroderma: Report of a case with T cell skin lymphoma and discussion of the nature of this disease

Abstract

This report concerns a white woman with characteristic manifestations of Ofuji papuloerythroderma. This erythroderma results from a coalescence of papular sheets that completely spare skin folds. This rare disease is associated with high blood eosinophilia. In this case superficial lymph nodes appeared a few months later and peripheral T cell nonepidermotropic skin lymphoma occurred, which raises questions as to the nosologic implications of papuloerythroderma.
