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.
