BACKGROUND: Even after the description of papuloerythroderma of Ofuji (PEO) in 1984, little is known about this clinical entity. OBJECTIVE: To report on 2 new cases of PEO and review of the worldwide literature on this topic. METHODS: Article citations were searched on several biomedical search engines (PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Google Scholar). Papers were retrieved either online or in print. RESULTS: A grand total of 170 PEO cases were identified. Most patients were older than 55 years and of Asian or white descent, with an overall male/female ratio of 4.0. Itch and the deck-chair sign were observed in all patients. Peripheral eosinophilia, lymphocytopenia and increased serum IgE were common findings. Histopathology mostly showed aspecific inflammation, while 17 showed histological features of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Atopy, malignancies, infections and drugs were rarely linked to PEO. CONCLUSION: PEO represents a rather monomorphous entity both clinically and, with the remarkable exception of CTCL, also histologically. Nonetheless, no causative factor could be identified in the vast majority of cases. An etiological classification and diagnostic criteria are proposed in the attempt to contribute framing this puzzling clinical entity. |
