A de novo SOX10 mutation in a patient with Waardenburg syndrome type IV
To the Editor: Waardenburg syndrome type IV (WS4), a rare congenital disorder caused by defective functioning of the embryonic neural crest, is characterized by a combination of pigmentary abnormalities of the skin, eyes, and hair; sensorineural deafness; and Hirschsprung disease (HD). SOX10 is a key transcription factor in the development of 2 neural crest–derived lineages, melanocytes and neurons of the myenteric ganglia. To date, only 3 nontruncating missense mutations of SOX10 are known in WS4: p. Ala157Val, p. Arg106Trp, and p. Leu145Pro. The clinical spectrum as a result of SOX10 mutation has different syndromes m...

Pityriasis rosea–like eruption associated with lamotrigine
To the Editor: Pityriasis rosea (PR)–a common, acute, self-limited eruption–is characterized by an initial herald patch followed by a diffuse papulosquamous rash without systemic manifestations. Occasionally a lesional skin biopsy is important to rule out other papulosquamous and erythematous disorders. PR-like drug eruptions from angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, barbiturates, and beta-blockers, but not from lamotrigine have been reported.

Effectiveness of topical maxacalcitol for acquired perforating disorder
We report the case of a 69-year-old Japanese woman with numerous pruritic eruptions on her trunk, arms, and legs that had existed for 5 months. She had had diabetes mellitus for 20 years and had received hemodialysis for renal failure 2 months prior to her presentation. On examination, multiple erythematous and umbilicated papules with a central keratotic plug, 3 to 5 mm in diameter, were scattered on the trunk and extremities (, A). Histopathologic examination revealed crusts containing keratin, neutrophil debris, and degenerated basophilic collagen fibers in the center of the acanthotic epidermis, an appearance consisten...

Acquired perforating dermatosis associated with natalizumab
To the Editor: Natalizumab is a biologic agent used to treat relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). It is a monoclonal anti-α-4 integrin antibody that interferes with the migration of immune cells into the central nervous system by binding to the α4 subunit integrin subunit of the α4-β1-integrin expressed by lymphocytes. Thus, the binding between this integrin and the endothelial receptor VCAM-1 is blocked, and the lymphocytes are retained inside the blood vessels, preventing the inflammation in the central nervous system. Cutaneous side effects associated with natalizumab include melanoma, urticaria, and hyper...

Acute treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis of von Zumbusch with single-dose infliximab
To the Editor: Generalized pustular psoriasis of von Zumbusch (GPP-VZ) is an acute form of psoriasis with erythematous, painful skin and widespread sterile pustules. In severe cases, pustules coalesce and form lakes of pus that rupture, resulting in desquamation. Disruption of the skin barrier predisposes to life-threatening complications, including infection, hemodynamic instability, and electrolyte imbalances, notably hypocalcemia. Systemic abnormalities include fever, malaise, and leukocytosis. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology)

Dermoscopy of a Sister Mary Joseph nodule
To the Editor: Dermoscopy is a useful tool for the diagnosis of cutaneous benign lesions and skin malignancy because it facilitates rapid and magnified in vivo observation of the lesion. However, few studies have been published regarding the use of dermoscopy for detecting cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology)

Bullous pemphigoid associated with chronic renal allograft rejection
We report a case of bullous pemphigoid (BP) in a young woman who presented with chronic renal allograft rejection, an unusual association. A 15-year-old girl developed nephrotic syndrome as a result of mesangial glomerulonephritis. She developed loss of renal function, requiring dialysis, and underwent kidney transplantation 3 years later. Ten years after the transplantation, she again presented with renal function impairment. A kidney biopsy specimen demonstrated chronic rejection, and she was again submitted to dialysis. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology)

Bullae and psoriasiform hyperkeratosis after treatment with golimumab
To the Editor: Golimumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds with high specificity and affinity to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alfa and is Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, active psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. This agent has also shown promise in the treatment of severe psoriasis. In the GO-REVEAL study, greater than 60% of patients with significant skin disease experienced a 75% reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score when treated for 52 weeks. The safety of golimumab has been evaluated in at least 13 clinical trial...

E-professionalism at the dermatology office: New challenges to confidentiality in the era of social networking
Dr Wyatt, a dermatologist in a small group practice, receives a telephone call from an irate mother about her adult daughter, Sarah. The mother noted that Sarah had “Liked” the practice's Facebook page and written a comment about a coupon on the site that provided a discount for tattoo removal. Sarah's mother fears that now “everyone will know” about Sarah's tattoo. She is appalled that the practice allows patients to post confidential information on the Internet and demands that the practice inactivate the Facebook page immediately.
