Overview

PPE must be differentiated from Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) and Stenvens-Johnson Syndrome.

Differentiating palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia from other Diseases

The two most important differential diagnoses of PPE:

  • Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (AGVHD) in patients who have received a bone marrow transplant
  • Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS).


The distinction of these clinical entities are important since the treatments are distinct and a biopsy may not be able to distinguish them in a clinically relevant time frame.

In differentiating between PPE and AGVHD, the following factors suggest the presence of AGVHD:

  • Different pattern of involvement of the palms and soles in AGVHD: a diffuse macular erythema which may form papules in contrast to the areas of well-defined intense erythema and edema in PPE [1]
  • Extracutaneous manifestations of AGVHD, including [1]:
    • gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain
    • elevated liver enzymes
  • A rapid drop in the T helper cell/suppressor cell ratio
  • The presence of degenerate keratinocytes at all levels of the epidermis and associated with adjacent lymphocytes (satellite cell necrosis) in AGVHD [2] in contrast to the presence of squamous syringometaplasia which suggests PPE [1]

However, histologic features of both diseases are identical in early stages and serial biopsies may be needed to distinguish these two entities. [3]

In addition, both disorders may be seen simultaneously in a patient.
