Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare chronic inflammatory dermatosis and a part of the spectrum of cutaneous leukocytoclasticvasculitis. The most common site of involvement is extensor surface of the extremities, with a predilection for the skin overlying joints, particularly hands, feet, elbows and knees, as well as buttocks and Achilles tendons. Here we report a case of EED with atypical presentation involving palms and soles. The patient showed dramatic response to the treatment with prednisolone combined with (TWP). The lesions improved significantly after three months of therapy. We will also review the atypical cases of EED that were previously published in English literature.
持久性隆起性红斑(EED)是一种罕见的慢性炎症性皮肤病,属于皮肤白细胞破碎性血管炎范畴。最常受累的部位是四肢伸侧,尤其好发于关节上方的皮肤,特别是手、足、肘和膝,以及臀部和跟腱。在此,我们报告一例表现不典型、累及手掌和足底的EED病例。该患者对泼尼松龙联合(TWP)治疗反应显著。治疗三个月后皮损明显改善。我们还将回顾先前英文文献中报道的EED非典型病例。
