Foliculitis pustulosa eosinofílica (enfermedad de Ofuji): Presentación de 1 caso Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji disease): A case presentation

Abstract

Se presentó una paciente de 65 años, blanca, que desde aproximadamente un año y medio comenzó a padecer brotes recurrentes de lesiones eritematosas, pústulo papulosas, foliculares estériles con extensión periférica y aclaración central, con prurito localizado en la cara, tronco, extremidades, palmas de las manos y las plantas de los pies. Estas últimas fueron el primer signo de aparición de la enfermedad precediendo semanas o meses a las otras localizaciones. Durante ese período llevó numerosos tratamientos sin lograr mejoría. Por tal motivo se decidió su ingreso en este hospital donde se le realizó biopsia de piel, luego fue sometida a discusión por el colectivo de Dermatología y discusión clínico patológica con nuestro grupo básico de trabajo. El diagnóstico fue complejo, por presentar una patología no frecuente, foliculitis pustulosa eosinofílica (enfermedad de Ofuji), en su forma clásica, rara en el sexo femenino, asociada a una psoriasis.A 65 years-old female Caucasian patient, who had suffered for one year and a half recurrent rashes of erythematous, pustular, follicular and sterile lesions with peripheral extension and central clearing in addition to itching in her face, trunk, limbs, palms and soles, was presented. The onset of the disease occured in the last two locations some weeks or months before affecting the others. During this period, a number of therapies were applied without any positive result. For these reasons, it was decided to refer the patient to the hospital where skin biopsy was performed, and the results were submitted for discussion to a Dermatology group and also for clinical-pathological discussion to our basic working team. The diagnosis was complex because she suffered from eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji disease) in its classical form, a rare pathology in females and associated to psoriasis.
