| Abstract: | A 70-year-old male presented with a diffuse gyrate erythema with clinical and histological features suggestive of chronic lupus erythematosus. The lupus band test, however, was negative in both involved and uninvolved skin. The skin condition was finally found to be associated with a carcinoma of the lung. The features of lupus erythematosus gyratus repens and its possible relationship to underlying neoplasia are discussed. |
