Glucagonoma syndrome, staphylodermia superficialis circinata, fifth obligate cutaneous paraneoplasia.
Tumour (mostly glucagon-secreting) of the pancreas (80% malignant neoplasms) that functions as an obligate cutaneous paraneoplasia. Other possible triggers are hepatitis B, C and other tumours (adenocarcinomas, bronchial carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas)
Almost exclusively in postmenopausal women.
Interesting regarding pathogenetic considerations: Zinc and biotin deficiency result in very similar changes.
Face, genitals around orifices, groin, proximal parts of the body in a broader sense can also be affected.
