AbstractThe diagnosis of genital ulcers remains a challenge in clinical practice. Lipschütz ulcer is a non-sexually transmitted rare and, probably, underdiagnosed condition, characterized by the sudden onset of vulvar edema along with painful necrotic ulcerations. Despite its unknown incidence, this seems to be an uncommon entity, with sparse cases reported in the literature. We report the case of an 11-year-old girl who presented at the emergency department with vulvar ulcers. She denied any sexual intercourse. The investigation excluded sexually transmitted infections, so, knowledge of different etiologies of non-venereal ulcers became essential. The differential diagnoses are extensive and include inflammatory processes, drug reactions, trauma, and malignant tumors. Lipschütz ulcer is a diagnosis of exclusion. With the presentation of this case report, the authors aim to describe the etiology, clinical course, and outcomes of this rare disease, to allow differential diagnosis of genital ulceration.

Clinical Description

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare and aggressive skin tumor. It can be located in any area of the body, the most commonly involved area being the periorbital region. It does not entail a typical clinical presentation, which explains the often late diagnosis. The aim of this report is to outline the rarity of the disease and its atypical clinical description, since to this day, inguinal ulcers with clinical manifestation have not been reported. We present and discuss a case of sebaceous carcinoma with an unusual clinical presentation, in an elderly male patient. The precise approach to genital ulcers, as shown in this case, is a diagnostic challenge that requires a great deal of effort on the part of the clinician.

A 10 year old boy had visual deterioration in both eyes. Visual acuity was 0.2 in the right and 0.3 in the left eye. Further ophthalmologic findings were typical of posterior uveitis. The pediatric physical examination also disclosed aphthous stomatitis and recurrent aphthous genital ulcers. At diagnosis serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, sIL-2R, MCP-1, VEGF, tADA activity in the patient with active and ABD relapse were significantly higher than those in the inactive period of the disease, suggesting that these parameters may be related to disease activity. In addition to the proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines, plasma levels of VEGF and serum tADA activity may be used for the diagnosis of ABD and for monitoring the effect of treatment, as well as the follow-up period. Also, further studies of VEGF may lead to novel therapies with antibodies or other VEGF inhibitors.
