ABSTRACT
Nonsexually acquired genital ulceration (NSAGU) is characterized by the abrupt appearance of painful genital ulcers, most often in young women. The onset may be preceded by an acute systemic illness such as fever or malaise, and many of the patients have a history of oral aphthosis. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood. In our case, a 72-year-old male visited with multiple painful erythematous ulcers on the perianal area. By history taking, laboratory tests, and skin biopsy, we excluded etiologies such as herpes simplex virus infection, syphilis, chancroid, and Behcet's disease. Thus, we diagnosed the patient with NSAGU and treated him with systemic steroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, cyclosporine, and triamcinolone injection. Approximately 13 months after resolution, there had been no relapse. NSAGU is an uncommon condition and underrecognized by physicians. There have been no documentarily reported cases of NSAGU in Korea. Therefore, we present a case of NSAGU on the perianal area in an elderly man.
