Solid persistent facial edema (Morbihan syndrome) in a young Mexican-Mestizo woman

Introduction: Morbihan syndrome (MS) is a rare entity characterized by chronic erythematous edema of the upper portion of the face, believed to be a clinical complication of acne vulgaris and/or rosacea, that mostly affects Caucasian adults. There are no laboratory abnormalities or specific histopathologic findings described and thus, MS is mainly a diagnosis of exclusion.
