Abstract

Lipodermatosclerosis is a progressive dermatosis, which is closely related with chronic venous insufficiency. Lipodermatosclerosis has been clinically classified into acute, subacute and chronic stages. Acute phase, which also represents a sequelae of chronic venous insufficiency, is commonly misdiagnosed as cellulitis, since typical clinical presentation closely resembles cellulitis with extremely painful, indurated plaques with intense erythema and edema affecting distal parts of the lower extremities. Chronic lipodermatosclerosis is much more common than acute lipodermatosclerosis and this form is easily recognized with clinical examination. Chronic lipodermatosclerosis is more common in women, indeed up to 90% of the reported cases are women in their middle ages. Here, we report a young male patient with chronic lipodermatosclerosis on right lower extremity, which had been developed in the presence of chronic venous insufficiency. We point out and highlight the clinical characteristics of this patient as chronic lipodermatosclerosis is less frequently observed in young males.

Özet

Lipodermatoskleroz, kronik venöz yetmezlik ile yakın ilişkili progresif seyirli bir dermatozdur. Lipodermatoskleroz klinik olarak akut, subakut ve kronik olmak üzere üç ayrı evrede değerlendirilir. Yine kronik venöz yetmezliğin bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan akut faz, tipik olarak alt ekstremitelere yerleşen oldukça ağrılı, belirgin eritem ve ödemin eşlik ettiği endure plaklarla prezente olması nedeniyle selülit ile sıklıkla karıştırılır. Kronik lipodermatoskleroz akut lipodermatoskleroza göre çok daha sıktır ve klinik muayene ile kolaylıkla ayırt edilir. Kronik lipodermatoskleroz kadınlarda daha yaygındır, öyle ki bildirilen vakaların %90’a varan oranını orta yaştaki kadın olgular oluşturmaktadır. Biz çalışmada, sağ alt ekstremitesinde kronik venöz yetmezlik zemininde kronik lipodermatoskleroz gelişen genç bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Kronik lipodermatosklerozun genç erkeklerde daha nadir görülmesinden ötürü, bu olgunun klinik özelliklerini ortaya koymak ve dikkat çekmek istenmiştir.
