Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 62-year-old Caucasian man who developed multiple erythematous arciform lesions with a woodgrain- like appearance. It notes that the patient has a history of rheumatoid arthritis wherein he was treated with systemic corticosteroids, cardioaspirin and folic acid supplements. It adds that clinical findings were consistent with the diagnosis of a non-neoplastic erythema gyratum repens (EGR), which is a rare specific dermatosis.
