Maladie de Verneuil: un diagnostic à ne pas méconnaitre devant une lésion tumorale vulvaire et périnéale

We here report the case of a 58-year old nulliparous patient with a history of Niemann-Pick disease who presented with vulvoperineal, fluctuant, fistulized swelling measuring 10 cm associated with ulceration. The patient was febrile with impaired general state This mass caused some concern about nec...

Sumario:We here report the case of a 58-year old nulliparous patient with a history of Niemann-Pick disease who presented with vulvoperineal, fluctuant, fistulized swelling measuring 10 cm associated with ulceration. The patient was febrile with impaired general state This mass caused some concern about necrotic and infected malignant tumor of the vulva associated with chronic dermatosis. Incision and purulent drainage associated with multiple biopsies excluded the presence of a neoplastic process. The diagnosis of suppurative hidradenitis or Verneuil’s disease was based on the associations between lesions and their distributions. Then, the problem that arose was that of the choice between drug treatment and surgical procedures. This study, including a short review of the recent literature, aims to outline the diagnostic modalities, the complications and the therapeutic management of this disease.
