Erythema elevatum diutinum is a rare, chronic inflammatory dermatosis, characterized by erythematous brown and purple papules and nodules on extensor surfaces with a characteristic clinical pattern. Generally, it is associated with infectious, autoimmune diseases and hematological malignancies. For some authors it is considered a leukocytoclastic vasculitis and for others it is within the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatosis or a combination of both entities.
We report a case of a 4 year-old-patient with suggestive clinical and histopathological lesions of erythema elevatum diutinum, with extensive skin and laryngeal involvement.
