INTRODUCTION: @entity6794 is a rare, chronic, destructive, ulcerating skin disease of uncertain etiology. It develops most frequently in @entity1 between 25-45 years of age and affects both sexes equally. CASE REPORT: We present a case of @entity6794 in a young female @entity1 who sustained a burn injury of 40% total body surface area. She underwent four operations. She developed a wound @entity281 and @entity293 during her hospital stay. By the end of hospitalization, the papules followed with coalesce of @entity1066 formed on the previously epithelized areas of her legs. The @entity1 complained of the intensive @entity158 localized on these surfaces. Since @entity6794 was suspected, a dermatologist was included in treatment. Therapy was initiated ( @entity1667 60 mg per day intravenously) with gradual reduction of the dosage. The @entity1 was discharged from hospital two weeks later with almost fully complete cicatrization and epithelization. CONCLUSION: @entity6794 is still difficult to be diagnosed in the absence of specific and sensitive diagnostic methods; however, it is crucial to be suspected as early as possible and to start treatment immediately. Multidisciplinary approach is essential for ontimal results.
