Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder involving the central part of the face. There are four main subtypes of the disease which are most commonly seen; but also, when the disease involves other parts of the body except the face, it's called extrafacial rosacea (ER). ER is rarely reported in the literature and it may involve the scalp, chest and the back Herein, a man with ex-trafacially located rosacea who couldn't have been diagnosed for long years will be presented because of the rarity of the disease. Rozase sıklıkla yüzün santral kısmını etkileyen, kronik, inflamatuar bir deri hastalığıdır. Dört klasik formu sık görülürken; yüz dışındaki alanlar tutulduğunda ekstrafasiyal rozase (ER) olarak adlandırılmaktadır. ER, literatürde nadiren bildirilmiş olup; saçlı deri, göğüs, sırt gibi alanlarda görülebilmektedir. Burada uzun yıllar tanı koyulamamış atipik bir ekstrafasiyal yerleşimli rozase vakası nadir görülmesi nedeni ile paylaşılacaktır.

WOS: 000437833900024, PubMed ID: 29663351, Background Cutaneous leishmaniasis ( CL) is a vector- born parasitic disease characterized by various skin lesions that cause disfiguration if healed spontaneously. Although CL has been endemic for many years in the southern regions of Turkey, an increasing incidence in nonendemic regions is being observed due to returning travelers and, more recently, due to Syrian refugees. Thus far, a limited number of national guidelines have been proposed, but no common Turkish consensus has emerged. Objectives The aim of this study was to develop diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines for the management of CL in Turkey. Methods This guideline is a consensus text prepared by 18 experienced CL specialists who have been working for many years in areas where the disease is endemic. The Delphi method was used to determine expert group consensus. Initially, a comprehensive list of items about CL was identified, and consensus was built from feedback provided by expert participants from the preceding rounds. Results Evidence- based and expert- based recommendations through diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms according to local availability and conditions are outlined. Conclusion Because CL can mimic many other skin diseases, early diagnosis and early treatment are very important to prevent complications and spread of the disease. The fastest and easiest diagnostic method is the leishmanial smear. The most common treatment is the use of local or systemic pentavalent antimony compounds.
