Indian Dermatol Online J. 2013 Apr;4(2):122-4 Authors: Veraldi S, Persico MC, Francia C Abstract We report a case of severe Morbihan syndrome (chronic erythematous edema of the upper portion of the face) in a 60-year-old man. The syndrome was characterized clinically by erythematous edema involving the forehead, glabella, and both eyelids, because of which the patient was not able to open completely his eyes. Furthermore, erythema and telangiectasiae were visible on the nose and cheeks. Laboratory and instrumental examinations were within normal ranges or negative. Histopathological examination showed dermal edema, perivascular and periadnexal lympho-histiocytic infiltrate, and sebaceous gland hyperplasia. Oral isotretinoin was ineffective despite the relatively long duration of the therapy (26 weeks).PMID: 23741671 [PubMed - in process] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23741671?dopt=Abstract = URL to article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
