AB Necrolytic migratory erythema was first described in 1942 in a patient with pancreatic islet cell carcinoma. The disease can, however, have other etiologies including nutritional dermatoses. Here, we describe the clinicopathological picture of a 7-year-old female patient who presented with necrolytic migratory erythema which we believe is secondary to a rare combination of zinc deficiency and propionic acidemia.
