F, 72 The patient gave a 30-year history of Sheehan's syndrome. She has been receiving hydrocortisone and levothyroxine ever since this diagnosis. She presented with a long history of diffuse itchy erythematous scaly rash with recent progression to almost erythroderma with accentuation in the groin area. Areas of normal skin were seen.

AGEP? Pustular psoriasis? Doesn't look like subcorneal pustular dermatosis. Also some irregularities to the keratin that I can't for sure exclude fungi. Needs PAS-D stain as well.

Long standing rash with accentuation in the groins and these neutrophils suggest extensive dermatophytosis. Psoriatic erythroderma is another possibility.

There are septate hyphae which show branching suggesting that this is a dermatophyte and not a yeast.

This was disseminated dermatophytosis. Groin rash was typical of tinea cruris.
