AbstractA 75-year-old male presented with an eruption characteristic of digitate dermatosis. The eruption cleared completely after discontinuation of lisinopril (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor). Eighteen months later a similar eruption recurred after using valsartan (a competitive inhibitor of angiotensin II receptor). The eruption cleared after discontinuation of valsartan. Histologic findings in both eruptions were consistent with lymphomatoid drug eruption. This case is interesting in that the eruption occurred after the intake of two structurally unrelated drugs that interfere with angiotensin II function. This observation may shed light on the mechanisms that may be operative in provoking the lymphomatoid drug eruption.
