    Abstract:
    Erythema elevatum diutinum is a rare chronic cutaneous vasculitis which usually affects adults. It is characterized by symmetrical and persistent papules, plaques, and nodules. These lesions are usually located on the extensor surfaces of the extremities. We report a case of erythema elevatum diutinum in which the association of dapsone and surgical excision promoted complete remission of skin lesions, providing a new approach to the treatments described in the literature. O eritema elevatum diutinum é uma vasculite cutânea rara, crônica, que costuma afetar adultos, manifestando-se com pápulas, placas e nódulos, simétricos e persistentes, nas regiões extensoras das extremidades. Relata-se um caso de eritema elevatum diutinum, onde a associação terapêutica da dapsona e excisão cirúrgica promoveu a remissão completa das lesões cutâneas, oferecendo uma nova abordagem aos tratamentos descritos na literatura.
