| description | A 36-year-old male came to us with a six months history of a generalized, itchy, pus-filled eruption and a change in voice of five months duration. Healthy looking male on cutaneous examination revealed numerous isolated and grouped vesicles and vesiculopustules ranging from 5-10 mm on both normal and erythematous skin over the face, trunk, buttocks and extremities. Both flaccid and tense vesicles were seen along with some of them coalescing to form circinate or polycyclic patterns with crusting. Most of these lesions showed hypopyon formation. Nikolsky′s sign and bulla-spread sign were negative. Histopathology and direct immunofluorescence substantiated our clinical diagnosis of subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SCPD). On investigation, he was found to have thymoma. We herewith report an association of SCPD with thymoma in this case report, not yet reported in the literature. |
