Ofuji papuloerythrodema is a rare type of dermatosis marked by an erythrodermic manifestation which is intensely pruritic and results from the coalescing of brownish papules which in the main do not involve the great folds. The authors present the case history of a 72‐year‐old female, whose dermatosis appeared 8 years after the diagnosis of malignant lymphocitic lymphoma. The Authors describe the clinical and histopathological picture, illustrating the laboratory results and stressing the importance of the association of the two pathologies in a possible nosological overview.
