A 54‐year‐old male patient, with a diagnosis of HS and Hurley stage II disease, was examined for recurrent inflammatory lesions affecting the inguinal and genital regions. He reported a family history of HS (father and daughter). In addition, physical examination showed a typical reticulated flexural pigmentation, localized on the scrotum and inguinal crease (Figure 1a). Histopathological examination of lesional skin confirmed diagnosis of classic DDD. Onset of HS lesions was reported at the age of 25 years, while first signs of flexural hyperpigmentation were reported at the age of 40 years. The patient never smoked, had a normal body mass index, and no other comorbidities.

Abstract
A 54‐year‐old male patient, with a diagnosis of HS and Hurley stage II disease, was examined for recurrent inflammatory lesions affecting the inguinal and genital regions. He reported a family history of HS (father and daughter). In addition, physical examination showed a typical reticulated flexural pigmentation, localized on the scrotum and inguinal crease (Figure 1a). Histopathological examination of lesional skin confirmed diagnosis of classic DDD. Onset of HS lesions was reported at the age of 25 years, while first signs of flexural hyperpigmentation were reported at the age of 40 years. The patient never smoked, had a normal body mass index, and no other comorbidities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
