Abstract
A 59-year-old Caucasian man suffered from persistent disseminated necrolyti c skin lesions for 8 months. They failed to respond to a variety of therape utic regimens but then cleared spontaneously within a few days. After one w eek an invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx became clinicall y a ppa rent. At autopsy, the expected glucagonoma often associated with ne crolytic migratory erythema was not found.
