Plasma sublimation for the treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum
2020
Introduction Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is a common xanthomatous lesion of the eyelid and periorbital skin. Several methods of treatment have been reported in the literature, each having its own indications and risks. We present a new treatment method for removing XP using a plasma exeresis device (Plexr®, GMV, Italy). Methods Fifteen patients with a total of 27 treated XPs were assessed and clinically identified by the treating dermatologist. Patients were photographed and assessed by a dermatologist prior to and immediately after treatment. A patient survey was conducted 12 months after the procedure, which assessed the outcome of the procedure (redness, pigmentation disorders, and scar…

Nonepithelial skin tumors with multinucleated giant cells
2013
Recognition of the different types of multinucleated giant cells in neoplastic and pseudotumoral lesions of the skin may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of these tumors. In this review, we will analyze the different types of multinucleated giant cells that can be found in nonepithelial cutaneous tumors and, more importantly, the clinicopathological context in which they are found. Touton giant cells are typically present in juvenile xanthogranuloma, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, and some subtypes of xanthomas. Giant cells with a ground glass appearance are typically present in the solitary reticulohistiocytoma and multicentric reticulohistiocytosis. Osteoclast-like cells are found i…
