Abstract

Rosacea readily diagnosed in the clinical practice and may unusually present with extrafacial involvement. This clinical picture, known as extrafacial rosacea, has been reported to be confused with various diseases besides photodermatoses in the literature. Coexistence with polymorphic light eruption and rosacea have not been reported to date as far as we know, and here we present a case displaying that this coexistence should come to mind in patients if extrafacial rosacea is considered.

Özet

Klinikte kolaylıkla tanı konulan rozase çok nadir de olsa atipik şekilde yüz dışında tutulumu ile de karşımıza çıkabilmektedir. Ekstrafasiyal rozase olarak bilinen bu tablonun literatürde fotodermatozlar dışında çeşitli hastalıklarla da karıştırıldığı belirtilmiştir. Polimorf ışık erüpsiyonu ve rozase birlikteliği bildiğimiz kadarıyla bugüne kadar bildirilmemiş olup burada bu birlikteliğin ekstrafasiyal rozase düşünülen hastalarda akla gelmesi gerektiği gösteren bir olgu sunulmaktadır.
