Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji is a rare disorder most commonly found in Japan characterized by pruritic papules that spare the skinfolds producing bands of uninvolved cutis creating the so-called deck-chair sign. Frequently there is associated blood eosinophilia. Skin biopsies reveal a dense lymphohistiocytic infiltrate eosinophils in the papillary dermis and increased Langerhans cells (S-100 positive).
