Abstract

Psoriazis, sık görülen, genetik ve çevresel faktörlerin tetiklediği kronik, inflamatuar ve proliferatif bir deri hastalığıdır. Psoriazisli hastalarda yüz tutulumu çok nadirdir. Yüzün merkezi tutulumu sıklıkla erken başlangıç yaşı, şiddetli vücut tutulumu ve yoğun tedavi ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Burada, sadece yüz tutulumu olan 29 yaşında erkek psoriazis hastası sunulmaktadır. Bugüne kadar literatürde sunulmuş ilk izole periferofasiyal tip psoriazis olgusudur.

Isolated face involvement in psoriasis

Abstract

Psoriasis is a common, chronic, disfiguring, inflammatory and proliferative condition of the skin, in which both genetic and environmental influences have a critical role. Facial involvement in psoriasis patients has been rarely observed. It has been stated that involvement of the central aspect of the face was more frequently associated with earlier onset of psoriasis, more severe body involvement, and more extensive treatment.Herein, a 29-year-old male psoriasis patient with isolated facial involvement has been presented. To our knowledge, this is the first case of isolated peripherofacial type of psoriasis reported in the literature upto date.
