Syringomas on the vulvar skin are relatively rare and generally bilateral. They are usually asymptomatic but can be symptomatic, with vulvar discomfort, burning, and/or pruritus. Management options include topical steroids, topical retinoids, and oral antihistamines. Cases refractory to conservative treatment may require procedural intervention, such as cryotherapy, excision, or electrosurgery. Here we describe a case of symptomatic vulvar syringomas refractory to medical management that were successfully treated with electrodessication and curettage.
RESUMO
Acute inflammatory edema is a noninfectious inflammatory condition of the skin that is commonly seen in critically ill patients. It is characterized by edematous, erythematous, and nontender plaques involving the abdomen and thighs, sparing areas of the skin subject to pressure. Risk factors include fluid overload, hypoalbuminemia, and obesity. Differentiating acute inflammatory edema from cellulitis can be challenging. Supportive care is the mainstay therapy for acute inflammatory edema, with interventions primarily focused on lowering the fluid burden. We report an unusual case of a nonobese patient in the outpatient setting with acute inflammatory edema.
