| description | Scleroedema adultorum Buschke is a rare skin disease, which can be divided into 3 subtypes: classic type, occurring after respiratory infections; a type lacking association with infections; and a type associated with diabetes. Scleroedema adultorum Buschke is characterized by thickening and tightening of the skin, which typically starts at the neck. In half of patients, spontaneous remission may occur. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize all reported treatments for scleroedema adultorum Buschke, based on articles from PubMed database, using the query “scleroedema adultorum Buschke treatment”, English and German, published between 1970 and 2016 and documenting adequate treatments. The results are based mainly on individual case reports, small case series, and retrospective studies often reporting unsuccessful results. Treatment options include topical as well as systemic treatments, and physical modalities. There is a need for randomized controlled trials and studies on long-term outcomes after treatment. |
