Cytokeratin expression in squamous cell carcinoma arising from hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa).

Comorbidities of hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa).

Comorbidities of hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa) were reviewed by extracting original and review publications included in MEDLINE, EMBASE and COCHRANE libraries using the terms "hidradenitis," "Verneuil" and "acne inversa." Follicular occlusion disorders, inflammatory bowel diseases, especially Crohn disease, spondylarthropathy, other hyperergic diseases, genetic keratin disorders assoc...

Forms of epithelial differentiation of draining sinus in acne inversa (hidradenitis suppurativa).

The draining sinus is a late complication of several forms of severe acne, leading to extensive, periodically inflamed lesions that are undermined by a system of fistulas, supposed to be of follicular origin. We investigated the expression of various cytokeratins (CKs) and desmosomal proteins in the draining sinus of acne inversa (hidradenitis suppurativa) using monoclonal antibodies in immunoh...

Acne inversa complicated by squamous cell carcinoma in association with diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma arising in the absence of predisposing factors: a case report.

Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) is a relatively rare neoplasm. Risk factors associated with its development include asbestos exposure, chronic irritation or inflammation of the peritoneum, abdominal radiotherapy, familial Mediterranean fever and simian virus 40. A familial segregation of this neoplasia has been reported in small villages of the Cappadocian region of Turkey, and...

What causes acne inversa ( or hidradenitis suppurativa ) ?

Improvement of Therapy Outcomes after Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in a Patient with Acne inversa

Treatment of acne inversa (also known as hidradenitis suppurativa) is complicated and chronic. This debilitating, inflammatory disease of the follicular sacks affects mostly young adults and has a strong negative impact on their quality of life. We present a case of a 28 year old woman with a history of acne inversa of Hurley grade 2 for 6 years. Patient underwent surgical excision of the skin ...
