An unusual swollen dermal lesion in a 14-month-old child.
A 14-month-old child was brought to the pediatric emergency unit in the morning, after his parents discovered inflammatory lesion on his left thigh. Three hours later, he was admitted to our unit, his vital signs were normal and his physical examination revealed a round swollen lesion of 7-8 cm in diameter with blisters on the surface and an additional inflammatory reaction of his left thigh ( Figs. 1 and 2 ). The parental interview provides the cause. The child was discharged after the lesion was dressed and a follow-up scheduled.
