The relationship between papuloerythroderma of Ofuji and cutaneous lymphomas

Abstract

Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji (PEO) is a rare dermatological condition characterized by pruritic, brownish-erythematous, flat, confluent papules with sparing of the skin folds – the so-called “deck-chair sign.” Although its etiology is not fully understood, numerous cases have been reported in association with various infections, drug-induced reactions, atopic dermatitis, internal organ malignancies, and hematologic cancers – including cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. This summary aims to present the disease and to review and analyze its association with cutaneous lymphomas based on the available literature.
