Contiguous cutaneous inflammation, skin inflammation overlying deep-seated issues, can signal serious internal diseases. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause, like sinusitis, lead to skin lesion healing.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Contiguous cutaneous inflammation is a skin reaction overlying a deeper pathological process.
  • It can indicate serious underlying internal diseases, necessitating thorough investigation.
  • This condition's characteristics are explored through a case report and literature review.

Observation:

  • A 77-year-old woman presented with a persistent cheek lesion and a history of rhinorrhea and chronic headache.
  • Initial antibiotic treatments were ineffective, and histopathology was inconclusive.
  • Facial CT revealed pansinusitis, leading to the diagnosis of contiguous cutaneous inflammation secondary to sinusitis.

Findings:

  • Contiguous cutaneous inflammation is defined by its location over the causal disease and parallel clinical evolution.

  • The condition lacks specific clinicopathological features, with variable underlying causes including tumors, infections, or medical devices.
  • Resolution of sinusitis led to complete healing of the cutaneous lesions.

    • Implications:

    • Contiguous cutaneous inflammation serves as a crucial diagnostic sign for underlying pathologies.
    • Understanding its pathogenesis may involve inflammatory cell migration or mediator diffusion.
    • Effective management requires addressing the root cause, not just the superficial skin manifestation.
