Papuloerythroderma secondary to granulocytic sarcoma of lymph node

Abstract

Papuloerythroderma (PE) is a rare cutaneous condition characterized by intensely pruritic, papular eruptions sparing major skin folds. These lesions later coalesce to form plaques and potentially evolve into erythroderma. The characteristic sparing of large skin folds in PE is known as the deck chair sign. Various associations for PE have been identified. We are here reporting a case of PE secondary to granulocytic sarcoma of lymph node. To the best of our knowledge, PE associated with granulocytic sarcoma has not been reported before.
