The article presents a case study of a 68-year-old woman who was presented with a nine-year history of a relapsing cutaneous eruption on the body. It says that the patient was diagnosed with erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) based on the clinical appearance and histology, in which dapsone was used for the treatment. Furthermore, it mentions that EED is a rare skin disease and a low-grade form of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, in which etiology is unknown.
