Oral lichenoid drug eruption (OLE) is a self-restricted inflammatory condition usually secondary to variety of drugs and dental materials (mercury, gold), rarely immunomodulators new antineoplastic agents such as imatinib mesylate (Glivec). OLE clinical features are reminiscent lichen planus include symmetric asymptomatic, erythematous, reticulated painful ulcerated plaques. Histological examination reveals perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate the presence eosinophils that obscures...

Balanitis xerotica obliterans, or kraurosis penis, is a chronic progressive scleroatrophic process of the prepuce, and urethral meatus. This syndrome due to lichen sclerosus et atrophicus genital region. We have observed 32 patients, whose ages ranged from 24 78, with different clinical pathologic findings. Clinical symptomatology consisted painful erection secondary impotence, burning, itching, urinary disorders. The treatment in early stages pharmacologic; stenosis meatus, phimosis, scar...

Heavy reversible proteinuria induced by antihypertensive treatment with low doses of captopril has recently been reported our group in psoriatic patients. To ascertain whether an increased permeability the glomerular basal membrane psoriatics can lead to enhanced urinary excretion albumin independently from presence or absence coexisting diabetes hypertension, latter parameter was measured 39 patients affected diffuse psoriasis. A high prevalence microalbuminuria observed diabetic and...

Two men, aged in their 20s, presented with multiple, soft, rounded papules on the prepuce. The lesions were centrally umbilicated, resembling molluscum contagiosum, but clearly distinct from Tyson's glands. Surface microscopy showed well-defined, milky-white, bag-shaped structures, which under histological examination found to be sebaceous glands various features of hyperplasia. A lymphocytic T-cell infiltrate, closely associated progressive degeneration and destruction sebocytes, was...

Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by premature aging in adults. Although not sufficient to diagnose WS, persistent short stature and alteration of the dentition are among few early signs that appear at puberty can lead suspected diagnosis.The study aimed quantifying WS skin through biophysical parameters find new be applied together with clinical observations order disease early.The disorders induced were studied using noninvasive techniques: Tewameter...

Lower eyelid involvement occurs in 6% of patients with discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Eyelid lesions are rarely the initial manifestation DLE. We describe a 25‐year‐old woman presenting lower eyelids, staphylococcal blepharitis and Meibomian gland dysfunction, who later developed lesion on chin. Histopathological immunofluorescence studies biopsy specimen from this established diagnosis unaware any previously reported cases DLE associated dysfunction. should be considered as differential...

Pityriasis rotunda is a rare disease characterized by round or oval patches, localized mainly on the trunk, arms, and legs. The patches are usually lighter than surrounding skin, but sometimes may be darker, covered fine, adherent scales. Two types of pityriasis have been described. Type I has observed in oriental black patients older 60 years age, often associated with systemic malignancy. II white younger 40 familial, never association malignancy internal disease. On Sardinia, cluster type...

In the literature, few studies based on clinical and histological evaluation analyze skin structural changes after transplantation to oral cavity. Ten patients affected by squamous cell carcinoma of cavity who were reconstructed with a free forearm flap included in current study alterations. The authors performed ultrastructural samples from before 18 months intraoral reconstruction. They analyzed cytokeratin involucrin distribution, which represent markers maturation differentiation...

SUMMARY A 7‐year‐old girl presented with itching and greyish‐white sleeve‐like structures in her hair. After ruling out other possible causes for the symptoms, such as nits dandruff, it was determined that patient affected by hair casts. These are small cylindrical resembling louse eggs encircle individual scalp hairs easily movable along shafts. It concluded she had induced condition through misuse of a deodorant body spray. Scanning electron microscopy combined dispersive X‐ray analysis...

We investigated the superficial microtopography of normal skin 11 volunteers (not exposed to sunlight during last 4 months), before and after sun exposure for 5 days at high altitudes 2900-4559 m. The experiments were carried out on Mount Rosa in Italy, cutaneous replicas using silicone resin taken every day 7 h exposure. Casts from forehead, glabella, dorsum nasi, radial side (protected with a cream SPF 9.72) ulnar back hands, only areas not protected. A total 422 metallized gold-palladium...

After classification and identification of the plant, alcoholic extract Cachrys libanotis L. was analysed in order to identify phototoxic agents. The substances responsible for photodermatitis were found be 4 furocoumarins, which 3 have been clearly identified, namely 5‐methoxy‐, 8‐methoxy‐and 5,8‐dmiethoxypsoralen. structure a 4th compound not completely defined.

Summary Classic lamellar ichthyosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, genetically heterogeneous skin disease caused by mutations in the transglutaminase 1 gene. Pseudoainhum characterized appearance of constricting band around digit which may lead to spontaneous amputation. We describe 41-year-old man with classic unusual eye changes and pseudoainhum both fifth third right toes. Eye abnormalities included bilateral ectropion lower eyelids, chronic blepharitis, nuclear cataract. A radiometric...

Ectopic nails are rare. Four adult patients presented to us, affected by true ectopic of the foot, sole, and toes, occurring bilaterally in one case. Full documentation these anomalies was collected. The aim this study better describe morphologic features plantar using, besides histologic evaluation, transmission scanning electron microscopy. New criteria were identified determine if nail differed from normal hand nails. Morphologically, smaller than ones, but still form cuticles, grooves...

Double little toenails, or accessory nails of the fifth toe, are a rare and particular deformity distinct from other nail dysplasias. We describe 4 cases female patients, including 6-year-old girl, experiencing this bilateral condition after birth. The anomaly shows an autosomal-dominant type transmission that affects only individuals. subjects examined were family without marriages between blood relatives neuroectodermal hereditary diseases. patients had no bone alterations terminal...
