Résumé

The diagnosis of Hidradenitis Suppuratva (HS) is clinical and relatively straightforward for an experienced clinician. However, the terminology needed for a detailed and precise description of the lesions is more problematic. The aim of this study was to identify, enumerate and clearly define the primary lesions described in HS so as to compile a glossary that can be used to define clinical patient profiles. A review of the literature in English was performed on Medline (Pubmed), extending from 1949 to October 2013. This review targeted semantic aspects. This article is protected by copyright.
