Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic suppurative inflammatory disease of the apocrine sweat glands. It is more common in women and involves the genital region in half of all affected patients. An advanced case of hidradenitis suppurativa with bilateral vulvar masses is presented. Possible etiologies of the disease are discussed, as well as strategies for definitive therapy. Because the disease frequently affects the female external genitalia and therapy can require extensive surgical resection and reconstruction, the services of a gynecologic oncologist may be required. Adequate therapy based on an understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease can yield significant relief of symptoms.
化脓性汗腺炎是一种顶泌汗腺的慢性化脓性炎症性疾病。它在女性中更为常见，在所有受影响的患者中有一半累及生殖器区域。本文介绍了一例双侧外阴肿块的晚期化脓性汗腺炎病例。讨论了该疾病可能的病因以及确定性治疗策略。由于该疾病经常影响女性外生殖器，且治疗可能需要广泛的手术切除和重建，可能需要妇科肿瘤学家的服务。基于对该疾病病理生理学的理解进行充分治疗可显著缓解症状。
