A & A Case Reports

We report a case of Necrotizing Sweet's syndrome in a 24-year-old transsexual male who presented with recurrent myonecrosis of the neck/upper chest. Upon index admission, computer tomography revealed gas and fat stranding of the sternocleidomastoid and pectoralis major muscle -- findings suggestive of a necrotizing soft tissue infection. Despite debridement procedures and intravenous antibiotic therapy, myonecrosis of the affected areas persisted. Evaluation of tissue samples by Dermatopathology revealed neutrophilic infiltration extending into the dermis and muscle necrosis, findings consistent with Necrotizing Sweet's syndrome. The initiation of IV corticosteroids, the gold standard treatment for Necrotizing Sweet's syndrome, lead to significant clinical improvement. When soft tissue infections do not respond to debridement and broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage, perioperative care providers should consider Necrotizing Sweet's syndrome as an underlying cause. By facilitating the early diagnosis and appropriate management of unique conditions such as Necrotizing Sweet's syndrome anesthesiologists can not only play a more visible role as leaders in the emerging Perioperative Surgical Home model, but also may prevent significant patient morbidity and reduce unnecessary utilization of healthcare resources.

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/gender diverse, questioning/queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) persons, represent a historically underserved population within the field of medicine, though their unique health needs are increasingly recognized. Part 2 of this two‐part review will address unique concerns regarding acne, tanning behavior, sexually transmitted infections, and other health disparities among SGM adolescents. A more comprehensive understanding of the dermatologic needs of SGM youth will better allow pediatric dermatologists to actively and compassionately care for this health disparity population.

“…Moreover, recognizing that skin is an important aspect of an individual's physical appearance and that SGM adolescents are at increased risk of poor body image, the role of the dermatologist in the care of SGM youth is likely underappreciated . Although the field of SGM dermatology is still relatively nascent, clinical studies are currently under way to identify unmet dermatologic needs of SGM children and adolescents and how they may differ from their cisgender/heterosexual counterparts.…”

“…Advocacy, educational, and research efforts from clinicians and organizations such as the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Expert Resource Group on LGBT/SGM Health have improved our understanding of common and unique dermatologic concerns of SGM patients . Nevertheless, many providers may still be unaware of this unique population's distinct needs or feel ill‐equipped to deliver the compassionate and inclusive care SGM individuals deserve . This uncertainty is often amplified for pediatric patients .…”

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) persons, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/gender diverse, questioning/queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) individuals, represent a historically underserved population within the field of medicine, though their unique health needs are increasingly recognized. Unfortunately, our understanding of these needs as they relate to dermatology is still nascent, particularly with respect to children and adolescents. This two‐part review will discuss the dermatologic care of SGM youth, with Part 1 providing practical advice for dermatologists seeking to provide more culturally mindful and accessible care for SGM children and adolescents. A more comprehensive understanding of the psychosocial and physical needs of SGM youth will allow dermatologists to more actively and compassionately care for this health disparity population.
