Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Patient with Pyoderma Gangrenosum: A CaseBased Literature Review

Abstract

Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is a rare skin disorder that includes blisters, bullae, and ulcers, which can rapidly grow. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in association with PG is rarely reported, and the occurrence of PG earlier is relatively uncommon. A 33-year-old female patient known to have pyoderma gangrenosum presented with a 3-year history of polyarthralgia and morning stiffness involving both the hand and knee. She also complained of mouth ulcers, photophobia, fatigue, and sweating. Laboratory results disclosed anemia, leukopenia, and neutropenia. The autoimmune screen showed a positive ANA. Based on the clinical findings and positive immunologic studies, she was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. Initially, her general condition improved with an immunosuppressant, but the patient stopped her medication after three months of treatment. Although SLE is uncommon to develop after PG,

our case report shows that clinicians should consider it in any patient with a known history of PG who presents with obvious symptoms of an autoimmune disease.

Anterior Neck Lipoma Enigma: Unmasking the Unusual- A Case Report

Abstract Lipomas are non-cancerous growths consisting of mature fat cells. Lipomas usually manifest as distinct, pliable lumps in the fatty tissues beneath the skin. Around thirteen percent of lipomas are observed in the head and neck area. An anterior neck lipoma is quite uncommon, and an anterior neck lipoma extending into the mediastinum is an exceedingly rare occurrence. Here, we present a case of 50 years old female who came with a huge swelling in anterior neck region (prevertebral space) which was slow growing. The purpose of this report is to keep in mind the differential diagnosis of lipoma when patient presents with anterior neck soft tissue swelling. Keywords: Lipoma; Anterior neck; Prevertebral space
