We report a case of erythema annulare centrifugum present since birth in three generations in an Albanian family. The proband is a 45-year-old white Caucasian man; his mother (deceased), a 38-year-old sister and a 16-year-old niece presented with the same phenotype. To our knowledge this is the third case of familial annular erythema since its original description in 1966 by Beare et al. Autosomal dominant inheritance of the disorder is suggested.

Abstract
We report a case of erythema annulare centrifugum present since birth in three generations in an Albanian family. The proband is a 45-year-old white Caucasian man; his mother (deceased), a 38-year-old sister and a 16-year-old niece presented with the same phenotype. To our knowledge this is the third case of familial annular erythema since its original description in 1966 by Beare et al. Autosomal dominant inheritance of the disorder is suggested.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
