Abstract
: Erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) is an uncommon inflammatory skin disease of unknown aetiology. No therapy is currently available. We describe a 73-year-old woman with a 3-year history of EAC that was resistant to topical and systemic glucocorticoids, antifungals, and psoralen plus ultraviolet A treatment. After 3 months of treatment with topical calcipotriol the lesions cleared completely and did not recur during a 6-month follow-up period. Vitamin D analogues may be of value in the therapy of EAC.Entities:
