Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is a rare paraneoplastic disorder often preceding the diagnosis of underlying malignancy by 9 months on average, while pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is an uncommon papulosquamous inflammatory disease. In conclusion, EGR-like eruptions may be unrelated to malignancy but could signify the resolution phase in dermatoses such as PRP. EGR-like eruption has also been reported with resolving PRP, irrespective of retinoid treatment or malignancy.4 1 TableSummary of pityriasis rubra pilaris with erythema gyratum repens-like eruptions reported in the literature to date.
