ECCRINE HIDRADENITIS - CASE-REPORT AND LI TERATURE-REVIEW

Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis is a self-limited dermatosis with sp ontaneous resolution. The clinical presentation and location of the le sions are variable. Histopathologically, neutrophilic eccrine hidraden itis is characterized by a predominantly neutrophilic or mononuclear i nfiltrate around the eccrine ducts with associated necrosis. Possible causes include malignant hematological disorders, tumors, side effects of chemotherapy and bacteria infections. We report a 16-month-old fem ale patient with idiopathic neutropenia undergoing G-CSF therapy, who suddenly developed numerous papules on her trunk and extremities. The lesions resolved spontaneously within 6 weeks without treatment. The c linical and histopathological findings of the hitherto published 45 ca ses are reviewed.
