Challenges in diagnosing spongiotic dermatitis: A complex case report.
This case study presents a challenging case of spongiotic dermatitis manifesting in the vaginal region. Spongiotic dermatitis, characterized by fluid buildup causing skin swelling, poses diagnostic difficulties due to its resemblance to other skin conditions. A 64-year-old female initially misdiagnosed with various genital infections underwent multiple treatments without relief. With Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) tests being negative, a biopsy later revealed spongiotic dermatitis. Histological examination confirmed characteristic features of spongiotic dermatitis, guiding definitive diagnosis. Following confirmation of spongiotic dermatitis through biopsy, the patient received appropriate treatment, leading to the resolution of symptoms. This case underscores the importance of biopsy in diagnosing spongiotic dermatitis amidst variable clinical presentations, highlighting the need for further research to understand spongiotic dermatitis prognosis and clinical manifestations.
期刊介绍:
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (indexed in PubMed Central) is a peer reviewed, open access journal. It aims to provide a publication home for short case reports and case series, which often do not find a place in traditional primary research journals, but provide key insights into real medical cases that are essential for physicians, and may ultimately help to improve patient outcomes. SAGE Open Medical Case Reports does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, SAGE Open Medical Case Reports facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines. Case reports can span the full spectrum of medicine across the health sciences in the broadest sense, including: Allergy/Immunology Anaesthesia/Pain Cardiovascular Critical Care/ Emergency Medicine Dentistry Dermatology Diabetes/Endocrinology Epidemiology/Public Health Gastroenterology/Hepatology Geriatrics/Gerontology Haematology Infectious Diseases Mental Health/Psychiatry Nephrology Neurology Nursing Obstetrics/Gynaecology Oncology Ophthalmology Orthopaedics/Rehabilitation/Occupational Therapy Otolaryngology Palliative Medicine Pathology Pharmacoeconomics/health economics Pharmacoepidemiology/Drug safety Psychopharmacology Radiology Respiratory Medicine Rheumatology/ Clinical Immunology Sports Medicine Surgery Toxicology Urology Women''s Health.
