Make the Diagnosis
A 50-year-old white female presented with painful, pruritic, tense bullae and blisters on the bilateral palms of her hands that had been present for 3 days. Physical examination of the feet revealed no lesions. The patient had recently injured her ankle and was using crutches with rubber padding on the handles.
A 64-year-old male presented with a past medical history of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in 2003) and metastatic disease to the brain (2005). He was recently admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy and radiation for a new, proximal, poorly differentiated, small-cell esophageal carcinoma. The patient noticed new red spots that appeared on his abdomen, groin area, and upper thighs that were tender to the touch. Initially he was afebrile, but later developed fever and chills. On physical exam, he had several erythematous, slightly indurated papular nodular lesions on his left abdomen, right inguinal region, and bilateral upper thighs that were all tender to palpation.
