A case of erythema gyratum repens occurring in a 62-year-old woman is presented together with a review of the literature. Evaluation and follow-up for the development of malignancy over a 32-month period failed to reveal any evidence of malignancy. Formerly, all cases of erythema gyratum repens were evaluated in terms of an association with an underlying malignant disorder. To date, only sixty cases have been reported in the literature; 14 (23%) were not found to be associated with any neoplasm. Therefore, this term is now also used for cases unassociated with malignancy. Erythema gyratum repens is a cutaneous eruption with a characteristic diagnostic morphology resembling a wood grain pattern.

Article Synopsis
- Annular and acral/facial dyskeratotic paraneoplastic disorders are skin conditions linked to distant cancers but aren't direct extensions or forms of these cancers.
- The four main types include two gyrate conditions (erythema annulare centrifugum and erythema gyratum repens) and two acral/facial conditions (acrokeratosis paraneoplastic or Bazex syndrome, and tripe palms).
- These skin disorders can appear in various forms, might be associated with different causes, and require careful diagnosis to distinguish them from other diseases.
