A case of pseudoglucagonoma syndrome, that is necrolytic migratory erythema, in a patient with no coexistent glucagonoma, is described. The patient was a 59‐year‐old man with waxing and waning dermatitis of the buttocks, characterised by arciform erythematous papulo‐squamous lesions with micro‐pustulation. Histopathology was characteristic for necrolytic migratory erythema, but no other underlying disease was detected. Other cases of pseudoglucagonoma syndrome described in literature are briefly reviewed.
