SOLANO, Nicolás et al. Erythema multiform as a paraneoplastic manifestation of a colon adenocarcinoma. Int. j interdiscip. dent. [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.1, pp.84-86. ISSN 2452-5596.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S2452-55882022000100084.

Erythema multiforme is a self-limiting, blistering, autoimmune disease that presents acutely, affecting the skin and mucosa. In 2015, Lee E. and Freer J. included this disease in paraneoplastic dermatological syndromes, but there are currently not many publications about this entity as a manifestation of an underlying malignancy. The objective of this research is to present the erythema multiforme as an unusual paraneoplastic manifestation. In this case, a female 64-year-old patient with colon adenocarcinoma exhibited oral multiform erythema; whose oral manifestations regressed thanks to local and systemic pharmacotherapy in conjunction with the exeresis of the cancerous lesion in the colon. It is important to recognize the presence of erythema multiforme as a paraneoplastic manifestation when the frequent etiological factors of this pathology are not exhibited and, therefore, to focus on the underlying search for malignant neoplasms that are not very evident.
