REPORT OF A CASE

A 70-year-old white man presented with a 3-week history of a pruritic eruption on his trunk. The lesions had initially developed on one side and subsequently appeared on the other side as well. The patient was taking no medications at the time and was otherwise healthy. A review of the systems revealed no abnormalities. On physical examination, erythematous, indurated, well-demarcated plaques were seen extending from the axillae to the waist on both sides of the body (Figure 1). Both sides were identical, with symmetrical involvement. No other areas were involved. A punch biopsy specimen was obtained for histopathologic examination (Figure 2 and Figure 3).
