Dissecting cellulitis is an uncommon, chronic, progressive suppurative disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by painful papules and nodules, interconnecting sinus tracts, purulent drainage, and scarring alopecia. This disease predominately affects young black men, but is rarely reported in white males. The refractory nature of this process makes treatment difficult. We report a case of dissecting cellulitis in a white male, which responded to oral isotretinoin.
蜂窝织炎是一种病因不明的罕见慢性进行性化脓性疾病。其特征为疼痛性丘疹和结节、相互连通的窦道、脓性引流及瘢痕性脱发。这种疾病主要影响年轻黑人男性，但在白人男性中很少有报道。该病程的难治性使得治疗困难。我们报告一例白人男性蜂窝织炎病例，其对口服异维A酸有反应。
