RESUMEN
Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is a rare paraneoplastic skin condition characterized by the eruption of expanding, concentric, erythematous patches and plaques. The condition may precede a symptomatic appearance of internal malignancy, and therefore provides a unique opportunity to prevent additional morbidity and mortality secondary to undetectable cancer growth. We report the case of a 71-year-old female patient clinically diagnosed with EGR and subsequently diagnosed with otherwise asymptomatic adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a hypercoagulable disorder that results in vascular thrombosis. The symptoms are numerous and depend on the size and location of the vessels involved. Patients with this condition can have significant morbidity and occasionally mortality. It is important for dermatologists to be knowledgeable about APS because a large percentage of patients with this condition will present with dermatologic manifestations. If diagnosed and treated early, patients can be spared the consequences of this serious disease.
