description Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a cutaneous vasculitis that is characterized by histopathologic findings of neutrophilic infiltration, vessel fibrosis, and leukocytoclasia. It most often presents as papules, plaques, and nodules on the extensor surfaces of the extremities. Herein, we present a case of a 44-year-old woman with Hashimoto's disease with an atypical presentation of EED on the palmar surface of the thumb, in addition to the classic appearance on the elbow. Diseases associated with EED, including autoimmune conditions, are discussed.
