Abstract

Self-induced factitial injuries constitute a group of lesions rather difficult to be correctly diagnosed unless this unusual condition is considered in a differential diagnosis. The lesions can be occured at any part of the body with various shapes. The patients deny to produce these lesions by themselves and it complicates the diagnosis and treatment stages. Interdisciplinary harmony has a great importance in treatment process. In this article, a case report is presented on a 30-year-old Caucasian woman patient who had both skin and gingival lesions at the same time

DİŞETİ YARALANMASI İLE BİRLİKTE GÖRÜLEN DERMATİTİS ARTEFECTA: BİR OLGU SUNUMU

Abstract

Kendi kendine zarar verilerek oluşturulan lezyonların teşhisi, diğer ayırıcı tanılarla birlikte düşünülmediği takdirde oldukça zordur. Lezyonlar vücudun herhangi bir bölgesinde birçok farklı şekilde görülebilir. Hastalar bu lezyonların kendileri tarafından meydana getirildiğini inkâr ederler ve bu da hastalığın teşhis ve tedavi aşamalarını olumsuz etkiler. Tedavi sürecinde disiplinler arası uyum çok önemlidir. Sunulan makale, aynı anda hem diş eti ve hem de deri lezyonları bulunan 30 yaşındaki Kafkasyalı bir bayan hastayı içermektedir.
