An Atypical Giant Form of Hidradenitis Suppurativa of the Pubic Region
Journal Title: New Indian Journal of Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 6
Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory follicular cutaneous disease characterized by recurrent skin nodules, sinus tracts and scarring affecting mainly the axilla, groin, and other parts of the body that contain apocrine glands. We report a rare case of HS in a 29 years lady, who presented with a large swelling, insidious in onset, progressive in nature and measuring approximately 25 x 25 cm in the pubic region along with multiple small lesions, scarring and sinuses in axillae and groins for 6 months duration. The lesions were also associated with offensive discharge. The swelling was excised under general anesthesia. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic examination. The post-operative period was uneventful and she is doing well on follow-up.
