Erythema annulare centrifugum is an annular, erythematous lesion that appears as urticaria-like papules, enlarges centrifugally, and clears centrally. A fine scale, called a trailing scale, is sometimes inside the advancing edge. The lesion is classified as a reactive erythema and has been associated with many different conditions. The cause of erythema annulare centrifugum is frequently unknown. Often, the eruption of erythema annulare centrifugum diminishes with therapy for the underlying disease. When the condition occurs as part of a paraneoplastic phenomenon, this is called paraneoplastic erythema annulare centrifugum eruption.This activity describes the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of erythema annulare centrifugum and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in diagnosing and managing patients with this condition. Women are more likely to experience paraneoplastic erythema annulare centrifugum eruption, which typically precedes the clinical diagnosis of malignancy and may recur with subsequent relapses. Numerous conditions must be considered in the differential diagnosis to ensure optimal patient outcomes within an interprofessional team.
