Two-year-old girl with tuberous xanthomas.

A 2-year-old girl was referred for evaluation because she had two nodular lesions located on both heels, and another elongated lesion in the intergluteal cleft. On physical examination, two yellow to orange well-defined nodules, suggestive of xanthomas, were bilaterally located on the Achilles tendon areas (figure 1A). Moreover, another yellowish, slightly raised lesion with band-like morphology was seen in the intergluteal cleft (figure 1B). There were no other anomalies on physical examination. Figure 1 (A) Tuberous xanthoma located on the left heel. (B) Planar xanthoma located in the intergluteal cleft. (C) Peripheral blood smear examination showing numerous red cells and two macrothromb…

Clinical, Microscopic and Ultrastructural Findings in a Case of Short Anagen Syndrome

Short anagen syndrome is an uncommon and recently described disease characterized by many telogen hairs and short maximum hair length. We report here the case of a 3-year-old girl whose short, sparse, fine hair since birth was consistent with short anagen syndrome. X-ray microanalysis demonstrated normal composition of the main bioelements of her hairs.

Infantile hemangiomas with minimal or arrested growth: A retrospective case series

Background/objectives Infantile hemangiomas (IH) with minimal or arrested growth (MAG) constitute a distinctive subset of IH based on their clinical characteristics and natural history. They are often confused with capillary malformations. Methods A retrospective observational study has been carried out in which clinical and perinatal characteristics have been evaluated in all IH-MAG evaluated in our Dermatology Department in a 5-year period (January 2013-December 2017). Results A total of 14 IH-MAG affecting 13 patients were identified (10 girls and 3 boys). All were born full term, with a mean birth weight of 3448 g for girls vs 3540 g for boys, corresponding to the 72nd percentile for bo…

Trichoscopy features of trichotillomania

Trichotillomania is a form of traction alopecia resulting from repetitive and compulsive hair pulling and plucking. Trichotillomania and patchy alopecia areata may have similar clinical and dermoscopic features in some cases. On trichoscopic examination, the presence of black dots, coiled or hook hair, shafts of varying lengths with fraying or split ends (trichoptilosis), and an absence of exclamation mark hairs and yellow dots are suggestive of trichotillomania.

Depressed indurated plaque with elastorrhexis as a distinctive lesion in Buschke‐Ollendorff syndrome

Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome (BOS) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by heterozygous mutations in LEMD3 and characterized by connective tissue nevi and sclerotic bone lesions known as osteopoikilosis. We report a family with three individuals affected by BOS, two of whom manifested clinical and histopathological peculiarities, presenting with a depressed indurated plaque as the main cutaneous manifestation instead of the classic connective tissue nevi. Notable elastorrhexis was present in both biopsies.

Estudio retrospectivo de hemangiomas infantiles: Características clínicas, perinatales y factores predictores del desarrollo de secuelas residuales

Resumen Introduccion El hemangioma infantil (HI) es el tumor mas frecuente de la infancia. Es un tumor benigno de origen vascular, que afecta a la edad pediatrica exclusivamente. La mayoria sigue un curso clinico benigno y se resuelve sin necesidad de tratamiento, aunque con frecuencia origina lesiones residuales una vez resuelto. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar un estudio descriptivo de los HI evaluados en un hospital terciario, evaluar la incidencia de lesiones residuales y predecir los factores relacionados con el desarrollo de las mismas. Material y metodos Se realizo un estudio observacional retrospectivo recogiendo los HI de los que se disponia de imagenes clinicas evaluados …

Bascule syndrome associated with syncopal episodes.

Bascule syndrome is a recently described benign vasomotor dermatosis characterized by Bier anemic spots, cyanosis, and urticaria-like eruption. We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with cutaneous lesions consistent with Bascule syndrome who had had three exercise-related syncopal episodes. It would be recommended to exclude orthostatic intolerance or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome when evaluating patients with Bascule syndrome.
