Érythème nécrolytique migrateur au cours d'une maladie de Waldmann

Waldmann's disease is characterized by intestinal lymphatic abnormalities leading to exudative intestinal disease causing protein lossin the bowel lumen and deficient fatty acid absorption. The pathogenesis of necrolytic migratory erythema is not fully understood. Increased serum glucagon does not appear to be the only mechanism involved. The occurrence of necrolytic migratory erythema in a patient with Waldmann 's disease supports the current physiopathological hypothesis of the role of decreased plasma protein and amino acid levels in necrolytic migratory erythema.
