The British journal of dermatology·2002

Extra-cutaneous manifestations of neutrophilic dermatosis are rare. This case highlights aseptic lymph node abscess associated with pyoderma gangrenosum, successfully treated with corticosteroids and thalidomide.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Neutrophilic dermatoses can present with rare extra-cutaneous manifestations.
  • Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an inflammatory condition with diverse clinical presentations.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old woman with a history of PG presented with fever and an epigastric mass suggestive of an abscess.
  • Surgical intervention led to initial symptom resolution, but recurrence with skin lesions occurred.
  • Bacteriological examination of skin lesions was negative, supporting a diagnosis of PG-related lymph node involvement.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with aseptic lymph node abscess secondary to pyoderma gangrenosum.
  • Initial treatment with systemic corticosteroids was effective.
  • Thalidomide was used successfully for a later relapse, indicating its potential as an alternative therapy.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of neutrophilic dermatosis, particularly PG, to include aseptic lymph node abscesses.
  • It underscores the importance of considering dermatological conditions in unexplained abscesses.
  • Effective treatment options include corticosteroids and potentially thalidomide for refractory cases.
