Summary A review of all the new cases of erythema annulare centrifugum presenting to this department from January 1976 to June 1981 has given information on 24 cases. No consistent abnormality was found in any of the investigations performed. Close association of systemic disease was noted in four instances, but in none of these cases was there any clear evidence of causality. The mean period of follow‐up from onset of disease was 5–9 years. No instances of malignancy associated with erythema annulare centrifugum have been identified in this group of patients over the period of observation.
