Pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC) is a rare dermatosis that typically presents as recurrent erythematous papules, which can be asymptomatic or pruritic.1,2 Although the pathology of PLC not well understood, it thought to an inflammatory reaction antigenic trigger, mostly infectious in nature.1 More rarely, may seen paraneoplastic phenomenon medication.3,4 Some researchers label lymphoproliferative disorder given these patients have demonstrated T-cell clonality, but this highly debated...
Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP)-inversus is a rare variant of lichen that presents predominately in middle-aged adults as well-demarcated, pruritic, dark-gray plaques intertriginous zones such the axilla and inguinal areas.1,2 To date, only few cases have been described literature. The precise etiology remains unclear; however, several causal agents implicated, including hepatitis C topicals mustard oil perfumes.3
We present dermatoscopic findings of long-standing, untreated Darier's disease (DD) in skin type VI that differs from current literature. Robust hyperkeratotic polygonal-shaped plugs without a surrounding white halo and classic vascular features were noted on the anterior scalp, neck, axilla, midline trunk, extensors. Through this case, we aim to contribute emerging literature describing DD under dermatoscopy augment diagnosis.
Background and Objectives: There are currently no evidence-based recommendations to guide lab monitoring in the first 90 days of methotrexate treatment. The purpose this study was determine whether certain practices or baseline patient characteristics were associated with increased risk developing clinically meaningful abnormalities during course Patients Methods: This retrospective cohort analyzed 243 dermatologically managed patients taking at University Virginia Health System. Odds ratios...
Eosinophilic annular erythema (EAE) is a rare eosinophilic dermatosis with few documented cases in the literature. It considered either distinct entity or subtype of Well’s syndrome (eosinophilic cellulitis), but EAE, contrast to syndrome, characterized by chronic course and resistance treatment. Therapies reported efficacy include anti-malarial medications, suplatast tosilate, dapsone. We report first adult case EAE respond dupilumab, an IL-4 receptor antagonist, which targets type 2...

Abstract Clinical images on Kodachrome slides have been used for decades in dermatologic education. While the technology to view these is becoming obsolete, many training programs possess high‐quality that educational benefit. The University of Virginia Department Dermatology possesses a collection such are currently being digitized and integrated into an software program. We present this article as means providing uniform protocol institutions with large collections do same. Our work has...
Introduction: There have been no large-scale studies looking at the efficacy and safety of methotrexate. Prior research by our team investigated whether certain monitoring practices were associated with lab abnormalities resulting in clinically relevant events (CREs) within first 90 days methotrexate treatment concluded that dermatologists may consider postponing until 15 after initiation patients without concerning baseline disease. This follow-up study was performed to determine when CREs...
Choledochal cysts are dilations of the biliary tree that cause a variety clinical symptoms and can lead to several types complications. most commonly diagnosed in childhood frequently present with abdominal pain, jaundice and, infants, an mass. Although concerning complication is malignant transformation cyst epithelium, other complications such as stone formation, acute pancreatitis stricture also occur patient morbidity.
