Favre-Racouchot hastalığı olan iki olgu
Favre-Racouchot hastalığı (FRH) solar komedonlar, senil komedonlar ve kistlerle birlikte olan nodüler kutanöz elastozisi tanımlamak için kullanılmaktadır. Etyopato-genezi tam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte ultraviyole rad-yasyon, fiziksel ajanlar ve çok sayıda sigara içiminin predispozan faktör olduğu düşünülmektedir. Histopatolo- jik olarak belirgin solar elastoz bulguları gösterir. Altmışbeş yaşında ve 61 yaşındaki iki erkek hasta poli-kliniğimize yüzlerinde bilateral gruplaşmış siyah renkli açık, dev komedonlar ve sarımsı renkte papul ve nodül-lerle başvurdu. Klinik ve histopatolojik olarak FRH tanısı kondu, topikal tretinoin krem ve cerrahi tedavi başlandı. Olgularımız hastalığın özelliklerini tipik olarak göstermesi nedeniyle bildirilmiş ve literatürler gözden geçirilmiştir.
Report of two cases having Favre-Racouchot disease
Favre-Racouchot Disease (FRD) is the term that is used to describe the nodular cutaneous elastosis together with solar comedones, senile comedones and cysts. There is no known etiopathogenesis but ultraviolet radiation, physical agents and heavily smoking can predispose to the disease. Histopathologically there is prominent solar elastosis. Two male patients that are 65 and 61 years old were referred to our clinic with the complaint of bilaterally groupings of black-colored, open, giant come-dones and yellowish-colored papules and nodules. We diagnoses the two cases with FRD and started both surgical and medical treatment including tretinoin cream. Our cases were reported due to their demonst-rating typical findings of the disease and literature was reviewed.
