- Abstract
Background: Hidradenitis is a disorder where abscesses appear after the infection of the apocrine sweat glands. It is located normally in the axillae, groin, perineal region, and the scalp., Clinical Case: A 37 year old male was referred by his GP to the General Surgery Department with axillary hidradenitis which had evolved over the years. The physical examination shows signs of hidradenitis in both axillae, with a noticeable suppurative hidradenitis in the right armpit. En bloc extirpation was performed to remove the whole affected area. The pathological examination revealed a cutaneous leishmaniasis. Subsequently, fucidin was administered topically, as well as local infiltrations of one millilitre of Glucantime™., Discussion: Hidradenitis normally appears in intertriginous areas and its manifestation is accompanied by recurrent subcutaneous nodules. The incidence rate in females is three times higher than in males. The isolated Hidradenitis caused by Leishmania is a rare condition presented only in endemic areas or in immunocompromised patients, such as HIV-infected patients. Clinical manifestations can be different and the diagnosis can be confirmed through haematoxylin-eosin. The main pattern displays a disorganised granuloma without necrosis. Systemic or topical treatment can be applied. Immunotherapy treatment is the most common., Conclusions: Hidradenitis caused by Leishmania in HIV-negative patients is a rare condition. Therefore it is important to perform a good histological diagnosis and to administer the right treatment., (Copyright © 2015 Academia Mexicana de Cirugía A.C. Published by Masson Doyma México S.A.

ResumenAntecedentesLa hidrosadenitis es la abscesificación tras la infección de las glándulas sudoríparas apocrinas. Se localiza frecuentemente en: axila, ingle, periné, región perineal y cuero cabelludo.Caso clínicoVarón de 37 años de edad, sin antecedentes personales de interés. Acudió al servicio de Cirugía General derivado por su médico de Atención Primaria por hidrosadenitis axilar de años de evolución. En la exploración física presentaba signos de hidrosadenitis en ambas axilas, con una marcada hidrosadenitis supurativa en la axila derecha. Se procedió a la extirpación en bloque de la zona afectada con resultado anatomopatológico de leishmaniasis cutánea. Posteriormente, se le administró ácido fusídico de forma tópica con infiltraciones de un mililitro Glucantime®.DiscusiónLa hidrosadenitis supurativa afecta a zonas intertriginosas y se presenta con nódulos inflamatorios subcutáneos recurrentes. La incidencia en el sexo femenino es 3 veces superior al masculino.La hidrosadenitis aislada por Leishmania es poco frecuente, aparece en zonas endémicas y en pacientes inmunodeprimidos, como con VIH.La clínica puede ser muy diversa. Histopatológicamente, se puede confirmar el diagnóstico con hematoxilina-eosina. El patrón predominante presenta un granuloma desorganizado y sin necrosis.El tratamiento puede ser sistémico o local. Actualmente, destacan las inmunoterapias.ConclusionesLa hidrosadenitis causada por Leishmania en paciente VIH negativo es una patología muy rara. De ahí la importancia de un buen diagnóstico histológico y tratamiento adecuado.AbstractBackgroundHidradenitis is a disorder where abscesses appear after the infection of the apocrine sweat glands.
