Özet
Gardner-Diamond syndrome (GDS) is a rare disease often seen in young women involving painful localized inflammation and ecchymosis. Ecchymosis usually develops spontaneously after emotional stress. The pathophysiology of the disease is not fully understood, and little is known about management modalities for this syndrome. The primary approach of health professionals in the evaluation of this rare condition should involve identification of cases and investigation of potential accompanying psychiatric pathologies. The case presented here highlights the importance of assessing for GDS and reviews descriptions of GDS in the context of the existing literature.
