[Femorogluteal manifestation of lymphogranuloma venereum].

We report on a case of lymphogranuloma venereum in a 40-year-old man who acquired the disease while on vacation in Tunisia. After 4 years, a fibrosing, fistulating inflammation developed in an atypical distribution that involved the scrotum, perineum, and left gluteal and upper femoral regions; the disease progressed because of insufficient therapy. The diagnosis was established on serological examination, and treatment with doxycycline (2 x 100 mg for 4 weeks) improved the chronic inflammatory process.
