Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to clarify whether acute lipodermatosclerosis (LDS) progress to chronic LDS without continued compression therapy.

Methods: Between April 2015 and November 2021, 30 patients with acute/subacute LDS, which was diagnosed clinically by presence of isolated, poorly demarcated, tender erythema, and induration limited to the lower leg(s), visited our clinic and were able to be followed up for longer than a year. We reviewed their treatment results and the post-treatment courses.

Results: In all cases, the symptoms in the acute phase subsided with compression bandages. After the discontinuation of compression therapy, 18 legs (56%) progressed to chronic LDS, and 14 legs (44%) did not. In the legs without progression, subcutaneous tissue in the affected leg was thicker compared with that in the contralateral leg (median 19.1 mm vs. 13.4 mm, p < 0.05) on the initial visit. In the legs with progression, the difference in subcutaneous tissue thickness between the affected and unaffected legs was not significant (10.0 mm vs. 7.6 mm).

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that in legs which later progress to chronic LDS, subcutaneous tissue contraction due to panniculitis is already present during the acute phase; therefore, long-term compression therapy is unlikely to improve the prognosis.

急性脂质皮肤硬化治疗后病程。
目的:我们的目的是澄清急性脂质皮肤硬化(LDS)是否在没有持续压迫治疗的情况下进展为慢性LDS。方法:2015年4月至2021年11月,30例急性/亚急性LDS患者来我院就诊,临床诊断为孤立性、界限不清、鲜嫩红斑和仅限于小腿的硬结。我们回顾了他们的治疗结果和治疗后的过程。结果:所有病例的急性期症状均通过压迫绷带缓解。停止压迫治疗后,18条腿(56%)进展为慢性LDS, 14条腿(44%)没有进展。在没有进展的腿中,首次就诊时受影响腿的皮下组织比对侧腿厚(中位数19.1 mm比13.4 mm, p < 0.05)。在进展的腿中,受影响的腿和未受影响的腿之间的皮下组织厚度差异不显著(10.0 mm vs. 7.6 mm)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,在后来进展为慢性LDS的腿部,由于全身炎引起的皮下组织收缩在急性期已经存在;因此,长期压迫治疗不太可能改善预后。
