Zusammenfassung

Das Erythema anulare centrifugum (EAC) repräsentiert ein klinisches Reaktionsmuster und ist keine spezifische klinisch-histologische Entität. Die klinische und histologische Differenzialdiagnose EAC sollte wenigstens 3 Hauptgruppen an Erkrankungen in Erwägung ziehen, die sich häufig hinter diesem Begriff verbergen: ein (tumider) Lupus erythematodes, spongiotische Dermatitiden und Pseudolymphome.

Abstract

Erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) is a clinical reaction pattern and not a specific clinicohistologic entity. The clinical and histologic differential diagnosis of EAC should take at least three main disease groups into consideration, which are often classified under this disorder: (tumid) lupus erythematosus, spongiotic dermatitides, and pseudolymphomas.
