Аннотация

BACKGROUND: Inpatient dermatology consultations for treatment-refractory or atypical cellulitis are common. In critically ill patients, differentiating cellulitis from its mimickers can be challenging.

OBJECTIVE: We describe acute inflammatory edema, a likely underrecognized variant of pseudocellulitis.

METHODS: We reviewed the charts of 15 patients with this diagnosis, seen by the inpatient dermatology consultation service at the University of California at San Francisco between 2009 and 2017.

RESULTS: The cohort consisted of 9 women and 6 men with an age range of 52-73 years. Acute inflammatory edema presents as bilateral, erythematous, and edematous plaques, most commonly involving the thighs and lower abdomen, sparing areas of increased pressure on the skin. There is a predilection for patients with high body mass index and those with clinical or quantitative findings of fluid overload.

CONCLUSION: We propose a 3-part pathogenesis of acute inflammatory edema: 1) acute-onset volume overload 2) in patients with impaired lymphatic return 3) leads to dermal edema, microtears in connective tissue, and an influx of inflammation.
