ABSTRACT

The erythema nodosum is a cutaneous reaction considered an unspecific immunologic answer, determined by a wide range of etiologic agents, being the idiopathic type the most frequent one. It has more incidences in women and in spring and winter times. It belongs to the group of the panniculitis and is the apparition of painful acute nodules in extension surfaces of the legs. The associated symptoms include fever, general malaise, diarrhea, headache, conjunctivitis, cough, myalgia and arthralgia. Identifying and treating the associated diseases and infections is important to establish an adequate treatment. The rest of the treatment is symptomatic and includes anti-inflammatory and general measures. These lesions do not leave scars and the prognosis is excellent in most of the treated patients. The case of a male patient aged 54 years was presented; his tegumental pathology was associated to a systemic lupus erythematosus with a satisfactory evolution.
