Also known as … Necrolytic Migratory Erythema (NME), Pseudo-glucagonoma Syndrome. Necrolytic Migratory Erythema (NME) is a rare, painful, eroded skin eruption that is highly associated with an underlying glucagonoma (a type of pancreatic tumour). This is why sometimes it is also called “glucagonoma syndrome”. NME usually occurs in mid-age patients. Men and women are affected equally.
