Abstract
Erythema ab igne
(EAI) is a chronic and recurrent dermatosis caused by long-time or excessive
exposure to low levels of infrared radiation and various forms of heat. It is a
rare condition today and multiple heat sources including heating pads, car
heaters, electric space heaters and laptops have been reported to cause this
condition. Although EAI has a good prognosis, it poses a risk for squamous cell
and Merkel cell carcinomas. We present a woman diagnosed with EAI including
extensive atypical squamous cells histologically caused by a radiant heater.

Abstract
Eritema
ab igne (EAİ) genellikle kronik ve tekrarlanan düşük seviyelerde kızılötesi
radyasyona ve çeşitli şekillerde ısıya anormal maruz kalmanın neden olduğu bir
dermatozdur. Günümüzde nadir olmakla birlikte ısıtma yastıkları, araba
ısıtıcıları, elektrikli alan ısıtıcıları ve dizüstü bilgisayarları içeren çoklu
ısı kaynaklarının bu duruma neden olduğu bildirilmiştir. EAİ iyi prognozlu
olmasına rağmen, skuamöz hücre ve Merkel hücreli karsinomlar için risk
oluşturmaktadır. Radyant ısıtıcı etkisi ile oluşmuş EAİ nedeni ile histolojik
olarak atipik skuamöz hücreleri yaygın olan bir kadın olguyu sunduk.
