Perineal burn injury with hidradenitis suppurativa: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2022 December 24
RATIONALE: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease which usually presents with painful, deep-seated, inflamed lesions in the apocrine gland-bearing areas. Severe HS has interconnecting sinus tracts and when it occurs in the perianal region, perianal fistulas can form. Obesity and smoking are 2 risk factors for the development of HS.
PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of a 33-year-old male diagnosed with perianal HS and perianal fistula following a burn injury to the area that occurred during childhood.
DIAGNOSIS: Through integration of the clinical signs and imaging results, the patient was diagnosed with HS, Hurley stage III with perianal fistulas.
INTERVENTIONS: The patient accepted surgical therapy. Performed under the general anesthesia, the procedure comprised sinus tracts excision and drainage.
OUTCOMES: The patient was discharged from the hospital 6 weeks after surgery.
LESSONS: The pathogenesis of the HS in this case was the burn injury interfering with sweat gland formation around the anus. Moreover, the scar from the burn made surgical treatment difficult.
