Erythema elevatum diutinum involving palms and soles: a case report and literature review.

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.
