Overview
Donovanosis is commonly characterized as painless, progressive ulcerative lesions without regional lymphadenopathy. Patients in later stages may present with scarring, elephantiasis-like swelling of genitals or perianal area, or stenosis of the urethra, vagina, or anus. Typical lesion characteristics include: beefy red color, nontender, emitting rank odor, elevated above skin, smooth and rolled edge, serpiginous outline. Physical examination of lesions can classify donovanosis into ulcerogranulomatous, hypertrophic, necrotic, and sclerotic variants. Common locations in males include: coronal sulcus, subpreputial region, and anus. Common locations in females include: labia minora, cervix, and fourchette.
Physical Examination
- In early stages donovanosis commonly presents as a nontender, progressive ulcerative lesions without regional lymphadenopathy.[1]
- Patients in late stages present with the following signs:[2]
- Scarring
- Elephantiasis-like swelling
- Stenosis of the urethra, vagina, or anus
Typical Lesion Characteristics
- Beefy red color
- Nontender
- Emit rank odor
- Elevated above skin
- Smooth, rolled edge
- Serpiginous outline[3]
Four variants can be further classified according to their clinical presentation:[1]
Type | Clinical Appearance |
---|---|
Ulcerogranulomatous | beefy red, non-tender, bleeds easily |
Hypertrophic or Verrucous | irregular edge, dry |
Necrotic | foul smelling, deep, tissue destruction |
Sclerotic | dry, cicatricial, fibrous scar tissue |
Common Locations in Males
- Coronal sulcus
- Subpreputial region
- Anus[1]
Common Locations in Females
Extragenital Lesion Locations
Extragenital lesions occur in 6% of patients, typically in the following locations:[3]
