Abstract

Lip abscess is a rare and serious condition, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lip swelling. A 35-year old female presented at our clinic with a rapidly enlarged swelling of the lower lip and paresthesia. It was learned that the patient had previously presented at the emergency department due to swelling of the lip and had been given local antiviral treatment with the diagnosis of herpes simplex labialis. As the complaints did not resolve, the patient presented at the emergency department again and received steroid and anti-histamine treatment with the diagnosis of angioedema. On physical examination, the lower lip was observed to be extremely edematous, erythematous and a few pustules were draining. Emergent incision and drainage was performed. Lip culture showed methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus infection (MSSA). The case is here presented of a patient with lower lip abscess caused by MSSA. Misdiagnosis and treatment of lip abscess can lead to progression of the disease and serious complications. For patients presenting with lip swelling, lip abscess should be kept in mind.

Özet

Dudak apsesi, dudak şişliğinin ayırıcı tanısında akılda bulundurulması gereken nadir ve ciddi bir durumdur. 35 yaşında kadın hasta, alt dudağında hızla büyüyen şişlik ve uyuşma şikayetleri ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hasta alt dudağında ağrılı şişlik şikayeti ile acil servise başvurmuş ve herpes labialis tanısı ile antiviral tedavi almış. Ancak şikayetlerinin düzelmemesi ve dudaktaki şişliğin büyümesi nedeniyle tekrar acil servise başvuran hastaya anjioödem tanısı ile steroid ve antihistaminik tedavisi başlanmış. Hastanın yapılan fizik muayenesinde alt dudağı aşırı ödemli, eritemliydi ve pürülan akıntı mevcuttu. Hastanın alt dudağına acil kesi ve drenaj yapıldı. Alınan kültür sonucu metisiline duyarlı Staphylococcus aureus enfeksiyonu (MSSA) geldi. Bu yazıda MSSA nedeniyle alt dudak apsesi olan bir hastayı sunmayı amaçladık. Dudak apsesinin yanlış teşhisi ve tedavisi hastalığın ilerlemesine ve ciddi komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Acil servise dudağında şişlik şikayeti ile başvuran hastalarda dudak apsesi mutlaka akla gelmelidir.
