Erythema Elevatum Diutinum (EED) is a rare chronic cutaneous condition of unknow origin, that initially presents histological as leucocytoclastic vasculitis of the skin and later resolves with fibrosis. We present a patient of this uncommon condition with typical cutaneous lesions and widespread involvement. The disease was initially misinterpreted on clinical examination. Dapsone therapy was followed by a remarkable recovery.

Keywords : Erythema elevatum diutinum.
