ABSTRACT
Stasis dermatitis is characterized by hyperpigmented lesions occuring as a result of venous stasis of the lower half of the legs. It is often associated with venous thrombosis, varicose vein, obesity, congestive heart failure. Histopathologic findings include fibrosis, new blood vessel formation, and hemosiderin deposition in dermis layer. We here report a case of stasis dermatitis due to excessive weight gain in a patient with peritoneal dialysis. A 50-year-old man on peritoneal dialysis was admitted with edema and hyperpigmentated lesion on both lower legs. He gained weight of 8 kg for 3 months because of excessive oral intake without ultrafiltration failure. Skin biopsy of the hyperpigmented lesion revealed vascular proliferation, infiltration of inflammatory cells, fibrosis, and hemosiderin deposition in dermis. We started hemodialysis in order to correct weight gain and leg edema. After 3 months later, the skin lesions much improved.
