Degos' syndrome complicated by bowel perforation: focus on radiological findings.

[malignant atrophic papulosis]

We describe a 50-year-old man who first presented with multiple skin lesions which were characteristic of Degos' syndrome. The patient developed multiple episodes of abdominal pain. Some episodes resolved with conservative management, for others he underwent urgent operations for bowel perforations. The patient subsequently underwent extensive small bowel resection, but further systemic deterioration ensued and he died. The imaging findings of Degos' syndrome and the implications of pneumatosis intestinalis and pneumoperitoneum are discussed.
