Fourteen patients with lepromatous leprosy developed attacks of edema of the hands and/or feet associated with attacks of type 2 lepra reaction (erythema nodosum leprosum). The regional lymph nodes were enlarged and often tender when edema was present. Lymph node biopsies in five cases showed

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a necrotizing vasculitis. The clinical manifestations are determined by the location of the compromised arteries. Cutaneous PAN can present as nodular lesions similar to erythema nodosum, palpable purpura, livedo reticularis and ulceration. It often affects the lower

BACKGROUND Polar and borderline lepromatosis leprosy can be complicated by type 2 reactional states, including erythema nodosum leprosum. METHODS A 36-year-old man was treated for lepromatous leprosum. He consulted for recurrent erythema nodosum leprosum. Certain nodular lesions were bullous.

Erythema nodosum is the most frequent clinico-pathological variant of the panniculitides. The disorder is a cutaneous reaction consisting of inflammatory, tender, nodular lesions, usually located on the anterior aspects of the lower extremities. The process may be associated with a wide variety of

Lucio phenomenon (LP) or erythema necroticans is a relatively rare, peculiar reaction pattern occurring in untreated lepromatous (LL) or borderline lepromatous (BL) leprosy cases. A 38-year-old male, a cook by occupation, was referred to the dermatology clinic from otolaryngology department with

Cutaneous reactions to imatinib are common and occur in 9.5% to 69% of patients depending on the series reported.
