Mycetomas are a chronic skin infection characterized by perilesional edema, formation
of sinus tracts, and discharge of purulent or seropurulent exudate containing grains.
This report aims to demonstrate the clinical diagnosis (by dermoscopy) of a skin
lesion that initially bared no clinical features of a mycetoma.
Morbihan Syndrome is a rare entity with unknown etiology. It is clinically
characterized by chronic erythematous edema on the face - especially in the
middle and upper third of the face - and creates abnormal facial contours
that are initially intermitent but become permanent with the development of
the syndrome. The histopathology is nonspecific and its therapy is a major
challenge due to poor response to the various treatment options. We present
the case of a male patient with a five-month-history of disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
