Erythroderma is the end-stage condition caused by various inflammatory diseases, presenting with widespread generalized coalesced erythema on the trunk and extremities. Erythroderma is not a disease itself, but rather is a symptom expressing erythrodermic condition, which is frequently associated with inguinal lymphadenopathy, chills, and mild fever. The clinical characteristics include sparing the folds of the trunk and extremities (deck-chair sign), and cobblestone-like disseminated grouping prurigo; however, the deck-chair sign is not specific to papulo-erythroderma (Ofuji disease).

Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji (PEO) is an uncommon disease characterised by widespread erythroderma composed of intensely pruritic solid papules coalescing into plaques sparing the skin folds (deck-chair sign). The pathogenesis of PEO remains unclear, although T helper (Th) 2 and Th22 cells may play an important role. Dupilumab is an interleukin (IL)-4 receptor α-antagonist that effectively reduces Th2 responses, which has drawn increasing attention in the treatment of PEO patients.

Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji (PEO) is a rare skin disorder characterized by a distinctive pattern of pruritic, flat-topped, erythematous papules which coalesce into an erythroderma-like eruption with classic sparing of the skin folds. Although the pathogenesis of this condition is incompletely understood, previous reports have suggested a notable link between PEO and various forms of malignancy and immunocompromised states. Here, we report a case of a healthy young male with no comorbidities who presented with the classical features of PEO that responded well to combination therapy comprised of topical corticosteroids and phototherapy.
