Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) is a rare inflammatory skin disorder, and mucosal involvement is exceptionally uncommon. We present a 15-year-old male who developed PLEVA with facial and mucosal involvement, preceded by fever. Dermoscopy revealed dotted and linear vessels with micaceous scales. Histopathology showed focal parakeratosis, epidermal exocytosis of neutrophils and lymphocytes, and dense inflammatory infiltrates extending into the subcutaneous tissue. The patient responded well to doxycycline, achieving complete resolution, though varioliform scarring and hyperpigmentation remained. This case underscores the rarity of mucosal involvement in PLEVA and highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment to minimize long-term cutaneous damage.
急性痘疮样苔藓状糠疹(PLEVA)是一种罕见的炎症性皮肤病,累及黏膜的情况极为罕见。我们报告一名15岁男性,他在发热后出现了累及面部和黏膜的PLEVA。皮肤镜检查显示有散在点状和线状血管及云母状鳞屑。组织病理学显示灶性角化不全、中性粒细胞和淋巴细胞的表皮内渗以及延伸至皮下组织的致密炎症浸润。患者对强力霉素反应良好,实现了完全缓解,不过仍留下了痘疮样瘢痕和色素沉着。该病例强调了PLEVA累及黏膜的罕见性,并突出了早期识别和治疗对于将长期皮肤损害降至最低的重要性。
