Abstract
Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is a rare skin syndrome often associated with internal malignancies, and thus
considered paraneoplastic1. There are cases of erythema gyratum repens in the literature associated with other
dermatoses without underlying malignancies1. We present a case of resolving psoriasis which evolved into erythema
gyratum repens when treated with acitretin.
