A case of peripheral ulcerative keratitis associated with neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hand.

We report a case of peripheral ulcerative keratitis associated with neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hand, a recently described clinical entity. A 68-year-old man presented with concurrent peripheral ulcerative keratitis of the right eye and neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hand causing pustular skin eruptions on the dorsal surface of both hands. Systemic investigations suggested an underlying diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hand associated with ocular complications.
