Erythema “ab igni” of the back.

Abstract

This lady of 77 years, suffering from breast carcinoma, came to our observation due to a request of her oncologist, although she had told him both his old habit of leaning her back straight on nice and hot heater to soothe her arthrosis pain and even the similarity of her pigmented dermatitis with that one she had previously observed on the medial surface of the legs of her grandmother, accustomed to keeping the brazier between the legs.
