We describe a case of Ofuji's papuloerythroderma (PE) in a 72‐year‐old man with biliary sepsis induced by choledocholithiasis. The PE disappeared completely after surgery with no relapse. This aetiology for PE does not appear to have been described previously, while its resolution after treatment of the primary process supports the idea that it may be a reactive disorder of multifactorial origin.
