Abstract

Erythema ab igne (EAI) is a chronic and recurrent dermatosis caused by long-time or excessive exposure to low levels of infrared radiation and various forms of heat. It is a rare condition today and multiple heat sources including heating pads, car heaters, electric space heaters and laptops have been reported to cause this condition. Although EAI has a good prognosis, it poses a risk for squamous cell and Merkel cell carcinomas. We present a woman diagnosed with EAI including extensive atypical squamous cells histologically caused by a radiant heater.

Özet

Eritema ab igne (EAİ) genellikle kronik ve tekrarlanan düşük seviyelerde kızılötesi radyasyona ve çeşitli şekillerde ısıya anormal maruz kalmanın neden olduğu bir dermatozdur. Günümüzde nadir olmakla birlikte ısıtma yastıkları, araba ısıtıcıları, elektrikli alan ısıtıcıları ve dizüstü bilgisayarları içeren çoklu ısı kaynaklarının bu duruma neden olduğu bildirilmiştir. EAİ iyi prognozlu olmasına rağmen, skuamöz hücre ve Merkel hücreli karsinomlar için risk oluşturmaktadır. Radyant ısıtıcı etkisi ile oluşmuş EAİ nedeni ile histolojik olarak atipik skuamöz hücreleri yaygın olan bir kadın olguyu sunduk.
