简介:背景:表皮松解坏死型游走性红斑被认为是一种副肿瘤性皮肤病。典型症状与Q细胞型胰岛细胞瘤或胰高血糖素瘤相关。一般情况下,这种疾病的皮肤外表现包括体重减轻、糖尿病、贫血和腹泻。观察:作者报道1例39岁女性患者,有3年顽固的银屑病样皮损病史,常规检查无其他相关症状。组织病理检查提示为表皮松解坏死型游走性红斑。腹部CT示胰尾部肿瘤。胰腺远端切除术后一段时间,患者皮肤症状消失。切除的肿瘤组织病理符合胰高血糖素瘤。4年后,该患者临床痊愈,无症状且无转移迹象。结论:仅有表皮松解坏死型游走性红斑、高血糖素血症和胰岛细胞瘤而没有其他皮肤外症状的胰高血糖素瘤综合征很罕见。据作者所知,在文献报道中本例为第2例。皮肤症状很重要,常常是诊断胰高血糖素瘤综合征的线索。
