Erythema elevatum diutinum is a rare chronic cutaneous vasculitis which usually
affects adults. It is characterized by symmetrical and persistent papules, plaques,
and nodules. These lesions are usually located on the extensor surfaces of the
extremities. We report a case of erythema elevatum diutinum in which the association
of dapsone and surgical excision promoted complete remission of skin lesions,
providing a new approach to the treatments described in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
