Vitiligo can be reversed through immune targeting with mutant heat shock protein 70.
Abstract: We present a 14‐month‐old female child who developed multiple erythematous nodules on her abdomen 5 months after liver and small bowel transplantation. Skin biopsy revealed dense infiltrate of large cells in the dermal subcutaneous layers with frequent mitotic figures. The were noted to have abundant cytoplasm, prominent nucleoli, open chromatin. Immunohistochemical stains positive for CD138, CD56, Ki67 (>90%), lambda chain restriction. Rare mature B (CD20) rare T (CD3) noted....

Summary Background Poorer survival rates from melanoma among Hispanics have been previously reported. There is little information regarding sunscreen acquisition behaviors or availability/access to products that may help reduce the risk of skin cancer in Hispanic communities. This study sought understand perceptions sun protection and whether availability over‐the‐counter differed three Chicago neighborhoods with different ethnic compositions. Methods We drew on interviews 65 adult Spanish...
Depigmentation in vitiligo occurs by progressive loss of melanocytes from the basal layer skin, and can be psychologically devastating to patients. T cell-mediated autoimmunity explains nature this disease. Rather than being confronted with periods rapid depigmentation bouts repigmentation, patients long-standing, treatment-resistant undergo treatment. The objective is remove residual pigmentation achieve a cosmetically acceptable result--that skin uniform appearance. In United States, only...
We report a case of disseminated Cladophialophora bantiana phaeohyphomycosis with cerebral and pulmonary disease in 69-year-old renal transplant recipient. The patient presented confusion, low-grade fever progressed quickly to comatose state. Imaging revealed multiple small brain abscesses right nodule. Cultures bronchial washings biopsy the nodule grew C. bantiana, highly neurotropic fungus high mortality rate. He was treated Isavuconazonium sulfate (Isavuconazole) Liposomal Amphotericin B...
Cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodule (CEAN) is a recently described rare vascular proliferation. Although this neoplasm more commonly reported as solitary papule or on the trunk extremities, eruptive patterns have been reported. We report an eruptive, slowly progressive case of CEAN that shows some shared features other cutaneous proliferations. diagnosis may be challenging, careful evaluation clinical and histopathologic should allow correct classification.
The immunopathological mechanism of pemphigus foliaceus acantholysis remains controversial. Previous workers have found that IgG autoantibodies are reactive with the epidermal surface and capable blister induction. presence complement components in lesions also suggests their potential role this disease. Complement participation, however, has not been clearly demonstrated. We describe a case (PF) 58-year old woman which was confirmed by histopathological studies, ELISA assay on recombinant...

A 21-year-old female with linear, flesh-colored papules on her face was diagnosed cutaneous piloleiomyoma. Important associations for physicians to be aware of include uterine leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas, and renal cell carcinoma. Mutations this syndrome have been mapped the fumarate hydratase gene.
