Background: Perianal hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic recurrent inflammatory, suppurating, and fistulizing disease of apocrine glands, adjacent anal canal skin, and soft tissues. The standard treatment used for extensive cases is a staged surgical procedure allowing the wound to heal by secondary intention or the delayed use of skin grafts.
Case Presentation: A long-standing case, disabling for the patient, with extensive involvement of the buttock region, treated in one stage, which for reconstruction required the use of sliding plasties and free skin grafts, is reported.
Results: The outcome was satisfactory. Primary closure after wide excision using plastic-surgery techniques may help us resolve complex situations and obtain good results and a rapid recovery.
Conclusion: The method of closure with a combination of skin flaps and skin graft in one stage can be considered a valid surgical option for a group of patients with extensive perianal hidradenitis.

Objective: Authors characterized all published adult cases of cutaneous, intertriginous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) to bring this clinical presentation to the attention of clinicians. We emphasize the morphology, histopathology, immunohistochemical profiles, and genetic mutations associated with these cases.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the National Center for Biotechnology Information's PubMed was conducted, utilizing the following specific key words to identify all adult LCH patients with cutaneous intertriginous involvement: "Intertriginous Langerhans," "Vulvar Langerhans," "Genital Langerhans," "Perineal Langerhans," "Perianal Langerhans," "Intergluteal Langerhans," "Inguinal Langerhans," "Axillary Langerhans," and "Inframammary Langerhans.

Inflammatory skin diseases impose a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems worldwide. Among these, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is particularly notable for its chronic and recurrent nature. Recurrent nodules, abscesses, and scarring in apocrine gland-rich areas characterize the disease, including the groin, axillae, and perianal regions.

Introduction: The natural history, the progression of a disease process in an individual over time, has not yet been fully elucidated in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). In this large multicenter study, we aimed to investigate the natural history of HS and its gender differences.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 827 patients.

Hidradenitis suppurativa has greatly benefited from the insights of color Doppler ultrasound. Thus, ultrasonography has helped prove the follicular link of this disease and has ruled out the primary involvement of the apocrine glands, which, in the old days, was supposedly the cause of the disease. Importantly, ultrasound can detect subclinical anatomical information in HS that cannot be deducted from the clinical examination.

Although comedones are a prevalent entity in multiple skin diseases, their perianal location as a cluster is a rare finding. We describe 5 patients with grouped perianal comedones who developed the lesions in adulthood and were treatment-naïve in the perianal area. Four of them had had inflammatory lesions in armpits and groins.
