Klinik ve Histopatolojik Olarak Langerhans Hücreli Histiyositozisi Taklit Eden İnfantile ve Yetişkin Skabiyezi

Abstract

Skabiyez, Sarcoptes scabiei'nin epidermiste tüneller açarak ilerlediği bir enfestasyondur. Histopatolojik olarak skabiyez enfestasyonu Langerhans hücre hiperplazisini ortaya çıkarabilir ve bazı durumlarda Langerhans hücreli histiyositoz tanısının yanlış konulmasına neden olabilir. Histopatolojik olarak Langerhans hücreli histiyositoz (LCH) yanlış tanısı alan ve antiskabiyetik tedavilere iyi yanıt veren bir infant ve bir yetişkin skabiyez hastalarını sunduk. Bu nedenle, bu fenomenin farkındalığı, klinisyenlerin bu iki hastalığı farklı prognoz ve tedavilerle ayırt etmelerine yardımcı olabilir.

Infantile and Adult Scabies mimicking Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Clinically and Histopathologically

Abstract

Scabies is an infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei burrowing into the epidermis. Histopathologically scabies infestation may reveal Langerhans cell hyperplasia which might cause misdiagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in some cases. We presented an infant and an adult who had a misdiagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) histopathologically and responded well to antiscabietic treatments. Therefore, awareness of this phenomenon might help clinicans to differentiate these two diseases with distinct prognosis and treatments.
