Abstract

An 11-year-old girl applied for having a spongy consistency of swellings in various part of her scalp. The overlying skin and hair growth of these areas appeared normal. There was no evidence of systemic disease except for exogenous obesity. Ultrasonography showed thickening of the subcutaneous tissue on the swelling part of the scalp. Histopathological examination revealed elastic fibre fragmentation on dermis and increased thickness in the subcutaneous fat tissue containing numerous hair follicles. The clinical features and the histopathological changes in the lesion were consistent with a diagnosis of lipedematous scalp, which has previously been described predominantly in adult women

Özet

On bir yaşındaki kız çocuğu başının çeşitli bölgelerinde süngerimsi yapıda şişlikler olması nedeniyle başvurdu. Bu bölgelerdeki saç gelişimi ve cilt normal görünüyordu. Eksojen obezite dışında sistemik hastalık bulgusu yoktu. Ultrasonografi şişlik bölgesinde cilt altı doku kalınlığında artış olduğunu gösterdi. Histopatolojik inceleme dermisde elastik liflerde kırılma ve çok sayıda kıl follikülü içeren cilt altı yağ dokusunda kalınlık artışı olduğunu ortaya çıkardı. Klinik özellikler ve lezyondaki histopatolojik değişikler daha önce çoğunlukla yetişkin kadınlarda tanımlanan lipoödematöz skalp tanısı ile uyumlu idi
