Most of the literature comprises single case reports, often with minimal histological description of rather nonspecific features. We describe in detail the histological features of 3 cases of flagellate erythema (2 related to bleomycin therapy and one related to ingestion of mushrooms) and review the findings described in the literature to define the spectrum of histological changes encountered in this eruption. Our 3 cases showed mild epidermal changes, with spongiosis and variable interface inflammation. All 3 showed a relatively prominent dermal lymphohistiocytic infiltrate, with features suggestive of a lymphocytic vasculopathy extending to at least the mid-reticular dermis. Eosinophils were a prominent component of the inflammatory infiltrate in 2 cases. Our review of the literature identified a total of 45 publications, representing reports of 46 patients, cont
