ABSTRACT
Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji (PEO) is an uncommon entity of unknown etiology, characterized by coalescing erythematous papules sparing skin folds. A number of cases have described the association of this disorder with malignant with pathology, mainly with cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Such reports give rise to the suggestion that PEO may be a precursor of lymphoma or a form of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. We report a case of PEO, which was diagnosed as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma only 2 months after the development of skin lesions, and rapidly progressed. This case suggests the presence of a variant of cutaneous T cell lymphoma with clinical feature of PEO, which is different from mycosis fungoides or S zary syndrome.
