Necrolytic Migratory Erythema Associated With Glucagonoma Syndrome

Abstract

Necrolytic migratory erythema (NME) is a rare cutaneous manifestation that may present as the first sign of glucagonoma syndrome. Glucagonoma syndrome is associated with alpha-cell pancreatic tumor, increased glucagon in blood and skin rash (NME). NME is usually the first and rather exclusive manifestation of this syndrome, but may occur in other diseases, which is called pseudoglucagonoma syndrome. We report a case of NME which is associated with glucagonoma syndrome.
