PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of patients with EDH seen between 2004 and 2009 in our department and re-examined histological slides. RESULTS: Mean age at dermatosis onset was 75.6 years and the sex ratio was 1. There were three CLL, two mantle-cell lymphomas and one MALT-type lymphoma. The dermatitis was quite polymorphic, with erythematous papules, wheals and plaques. The initial skin lesions appeared at the same time as or after the diagnosis of haematological neoplasm. Their reappearance heralded relapse of the blood disease in three cases. Histologically, all lesions had a dense dermal infiltrate of small, mostly CD4+ T-cells, with numerous eosinophils. In three patien...

CASE REPORT: A 29-year-old man consulted for a pretibial ulcer present for seven years, resulting from a post-traumatic haematoma that had failed to heal. In view of the longiliner morphology, it had previously been diagnosed as Marfan syndrome. Subsequently, edentation was observed as well as "alveolar bone fragility". Examination revealed a marfanoid morphotype, a pretibial ulcer set within long-standing bilateral dermatitis ocre and papyraceous scars, but no joint hyperlaxity or cutaneous hyperelasticity. The diagnosis was consequently corrected to EDS type VIII. DISCUSSION: Type VIII is a rare form of EDS, and the molecular mechan...

CASE REPORT: A 67-year-old woman was admitted for four skin fistulae of the right buttock present for 6 years. Histological examination of skin biopsy specimens identified infiltration of the dermis by metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma while colonoscopy showed a caecal tumour measuring 4cm. Surgical excision was performed involving right hemicolectomy, evacuation of retroperitoneal mucin collection and excision of fistulae. Histopathological examination of surgical specimen confirmed mixed tumour consisting of perforated mucinous cystadenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumour of the appendix. Recurrence of the fistular lesions was seen. The pat...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Blood samples of three probands were submitted for a molecular diagnosis of BHDS. Following DNA extraction, FLCN gene sequencing was performed. The identified mutations were confirmed on a second sample. A cancer genetics consultation was organized and specific tests (dermatological examination, CT scan of chest and abdomen and colonoscopy) were proposed for each BHDS patient. RESULTS: FLCN gene-sequencing analysis revealed an identical complex harmful mutation in all three families. The first proband showed fibrofolliculomas (FF), a history of pneumothorax and colonic adenoma. The mutation was found in a brother and two sisters, who were asymptomatic, and in a niece with FF.

The patient's parents were first cousins; no other family members had a similar disease state. At the age of 3years, the patient developed extensive tinea corporis associated with onychomycosis resistant to the usual antifungal drugs. The patient was hospitalised for multiple subcutaneous vegetative and ulcerative lesions of the scalp, face and chest associated with multiple adenopathies, occasionally fistular, of the axillary, cervical, mammary and inguinal areas. Mycology and histology confirmed the presence of fungal hyphae. Trichophyton violaceum was isolated in cultures of various skin lesion and lymph node biopsy samples. Investigations showed no evidence of immunodeficiency. Although the patient initially...

CASE REPORT: A 56-year-old man was hospitalised for an inflammatory abdominal plaque with an ulcerated centre that appeared rapidly in a setting of fever of 40 degrees C, odynophagia, weight loss and arthritis of the ankle. Despite surgical abdominal repair and combined dual antibiotics, the patient remained febrile and the ulcer size continued to increase. The edges were raised, purple and necrotic. Examination revealed vegetative legions with a purple edge on the lower lip and tongue. Histological examination of the skin and mucosal biopsy samples was consistent with a diagnosis of PG. A chest-abdomen CT scan showed mesenteric panniculitis and interstitial lung disease. The bon...

CASE REPORT: A 70-year-old woman presented with a 15-year history of leg ulcer refractory to treatment. Because of the exuberant granulation tissue on the base and the indurated edges of this circumferential leg ulcer, several biopsies were taken from the edge and the base of the ulcer. Histological examination revealed infiltrative basal cell carcinoma. Treatment consisted of surgical excision of 80% of the primary lesion and coverage with a split-thickness skin graft. Examination of the surgical piece revealed invasion of bone by the carcinoma. The remainder of the lesion not accessible to surgery was irradiated.

CASE REPORTS: Two women (aged 45 and 47 years) with a long history of cosmetic use of bleaching compounds consulted at a dermatology unit for skin tumours. A diagnosis of SCC was confirmed by histological examination of tumour biopsies. One patient was HIV-positive. Surgical treatment was performed in both cases: simple postoperative complications were seen in one patient but the other died at home following recurrence of carcinoma in the year following diagnosis. DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, theses two cases represent the first description of SCC occurring after prolonged cosmetic use of bleaching compounds. Carcinoma occurred i...

We recommend this approach as the first-line phototherapy (level of proof: A) in children and adolescents, and in adults with extensive moderate psoriasis involving small superficial plaques. It may also be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women and in patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency. In addition, it is preferable for HIV-positive subjects (level of proof: C). However, PUVA therapy is preferable as first-line treatment in extensive severe psoriasis involving large thick plaques ...

Clinical signs and symptoms included yellowish discolouration of the skin, orange palms and soles, xerosis and pruritus. Hypercarotenaemia was confirmed by high levels of serum carotenoids. Serum vitamin A was normal. Dietary and drug-induced causes of hypercarotenaemia were excluded in this case, as well as other classical metabolic causes (renal insufficiency, malabsorption syndrome, diabetes, hypothyroidism). The child was placed on a low-carotenoids diet for six months, resulting in decreased serum carotenoid levels and regression of cutaneous signs and symptoms, especially pruritus.

The cutaneous adverse side effects of the targeted chemotherapies and biotherapies are consequently better surrounded. Some rare new anatomoclinical entities are identified but <<classics>> (Lipschütz ulcer, pityriasis rosea, deep dissecting hematoma, puffy hand syndrome, disseminata alopecia areata) are rediscovered and better represented thanks to help, sometimes, by new techniques.

In silico investigations become increasingly prominent especially with the rising power of new actor, China, the demographical and resulting epidemiological weight of which can hardly be challenged.

In two third of cases, these antibodies are found despite absence of antinuclear antibodies. Hence, we have to search them specifically in patients with polyarthritis associated with myositis, cutaneous manifestations (Raynaud phenomenom and "mechanic'hands") and interstitial lung disease.

Two independent groups have reported genome-wide association studies identifying variants associated to an increased risk of melanoma. Tumor stem cells were found to have an increased frequency when compared to previously reported studies, and also a greater plasticity. The Merkel cell polyoma virus seems rather ubiquitous, since it has been evidenced, without clonal integration, in several other types of cutaneous tumors, and even in healthy skin, with an increased frequency in photo-exposed skin and in immunodepressed patients.

Randomized studies, cohort studies, metaanalyses were given priority. However, nonrandomized studies as well as clinical case studies were retained if they presented original findings. Fifty-four articles were selected on the following diseases : psoriasis, pemphigoid, pemphigus, hidradenitis, lichen, progressive systematic sclerosis, lupus, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, sexually transmitted diseases, warts, molluscum contagiosum, actinic keratoses, acne.

Physicians treating such patients must consider the risk of IE, especially in the event of chronic dermatosis or of an invasive cutaneous procedure involving affected skin.

CASE REPORT: A 10-month-old boy was referred for evaluation of acquired onychodystrophy on his right third and fourth fingers present for 2 months. On physical examination, lateral longitudinal ridging and splitting were seen on the right third and fourth fingernails with onychodystrophy. Linear bands of bright pink papules were seen on the inside and outside edges of the third and fourth fingers. Skin biopsy revealed a lymphocytic infiltrate in the superficial dermis with exocytosis and very few dyskeratotic cells, suggesting lichen striatus. Skin and nails lesions resolved spontaneously over 9 months. DISCUSSION: Nail involvement in lichen striatus is uncommon and is frequently associated with typical skin lesions...

However, questioning revealed nocturnal breathing through the mouth in all three patients as well as symptomatic GOR in one patient. Test therapy comprising proton-pump inhibitors was proposed and after 1month symptoms had subsided completely. Gastro-oesophageal endoscopy performed in the subsequent weeks revealed oesophagitis in all patients.

Mechanical compression is the main recognized factor: amniotic band constriction, umbilical cord loops, compression in utero by a deceased co-twin, malposition of the hand, arm or forearm, local or general factors that can add to extraction problems: brachypelvic disproportion, extraction with forceps, oligo/polyhydramnios, pre-term delivery, pre-eclampsia, caesarean section, premature labour, excessive maternal weight gain or diabetes. Our case emphasized three main points. First, the diagnostic value of early MR angiography in the event of associated extensive tissue oedema, multiple arterial compression and decreased vascular perfusion.

A few rare cases of cutaneous lymphoma forming on burn scars have been described, but these concern primary cutaneous lymphomas of the T-cell phenotype. CASE REPORT: An 85-year-old man with a history of a burn to the left leg 17years ago, previously treated with several skin grafts, presented numerous ulcerative budding lesions on the scar area. Histological examination of the skin biopsy revealed the existence in the skin ulcers of atypical large lymphoid cells having an immunoblastic or centroblastic morphology and shown by immunohistochemistry to be of the B-cell phenotype, thereby evoking a diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma. The lymphoma cells were positive for MUM1/IRF4 and...

CASE REPORT: A 76-year-old man was seen for blisters of the skin and mucosa, atrophic scars and milia on areas of friction. The diagnosis of EBA was made on the basis of histological and immunohistochemical criteria. The patient was unsuccessfully treated with topical steroids, dapsone, topical tacrolimus, systemic steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, doxycycline and methotrexate. Four weekly infusions of rituximab of 375mg/m(2) body area were performed, combined with systemic steroids: they proved beneficial within 3 weeks, with a noticeable improvement and no further blisters at 7 months. After 1 year of follow-up, the skin disease is still stable with 5mg/day o...

CASE REPORT: A 25-year-old man presenting eczema-like patches since childhood was treated by chemotherapy for multiple lymphadenopathies considered as Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was referred with diffuse skin tumours and infiltrated patches. Histology of tumour samples revealed atypical T-cell infiltrate with epidermotropism and presence of more than 25% of large CD30-positive cells. Non-infiltrated patches showed small T-cell lymphoma with epidermotropism. Histological verification of a previous lymphadenopathy confirmed the diagnosis of transformed mycosis fungoides.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: A man treated with infliximab for Crohn's disease developed a severe cutaneous infection with M. marinum. Despite withdrawal of infliximab and the introduction of triple antibiotic therapy, the patient's lesions worsened and surgical treatment was required. DISCUSSION: The worsening experienced by our patient 1 week after the beginning of the treatment is comparable with the immune reconstitution syndrome occasionally observed in tuberculosis in immunocompromised hosts, thus raising the question of the potential value of continuing infliximab treatment. Recommendations are needed concerning the prevention and treatment of M. mar...

CASE REPORT: A 70-year-old woman with a medical history of rheumatoid arthritis was admitted for several purple nodular cutaneous lesions on her right leg evolving for 2 months. At admission, she was on prednisone, methotrexate and adalimumab for her rheumatoid arthritis. Skin lesions appeared 5 days before etanercept, which was taken for 5 months before being discontinued for adalimumab. Both the histopathological examination and bacterial culture of involved skin showed the presence of M. chelonae. Adalimumab was immediately discontinued and a combination of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and tigecyclin was started. DISCUSSION: TNF-alpha plays a pivotal role in immune reaction to intracellular pathogens. ...

CASE REPORT: A 33-year-old woman, with no previous history of note, had presented multiple episodes of vascular tumefaction of the toes and verrucous lesions of the right lower limb since childhood. Clinical examination revealed multiple pain-free and round haemangiomas on the toes; some were hard and evocative of chondromas while others were soft and suggested angiomas. In addition, there was an epidermal verrucous nevus of the right lower limb. Skeletal examination revealed multiple phalangeal enchondromas. A diagnosis of Maffucci syndrome associated with epidermal verrucous nevus was made.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Subcutaneous enoxaparin sodium was initiated in a 51-year-old patient and was replaced a few days later by tinzaparin sodium. Forty-eight hours later, annular, erythematous and vesicular plaques appeared at the injection sites (thighs). Small hemorrhagic bullae were noted on the abdominal skin at the same time. Skin biopsies revealed respectively eczematous dermatitis and an intraepidermal blister filled with red blood cells. Direct immunofluorescence was negative.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 51-year-old man consulted us for a skin rash with fever which started 72h earlier. His personal history consisted only of lumbar pain and he was not under any oral medication. The skin rash was initially limited to the left hand and the back but quickly spread to the entire skin with multiple non-follicular pustules emerging on widespread and inflamed erythema. No systemic treatment was being taken prior the eruption. Nevertheless, 3 days before the skin rash appeared, the patient had applied Algipan((R)) to the lumbar area with his left hand.

If the results are inconclusive, additional tests should be performed (ROAT, re-test, usage test).

Subjects most exposed are woodworkers, agricultural workers, orchard workers, gardeners, etc. However, many subjects are also exposed during leisure activities (fishing, country walks, gardening, sports, etc.). History-taking is thus essential before beginning testing in order to establish any differential diagnoses. Tests consist of challenges using commercially available allergens, patch-tests using the plant itself or plant extracts, and skin prick-tests or photopatch-tests.

Some molecules are known to produce their own reactions, either irritant (chromium or cobalt) or with late expression (corticosteroids). A late positive reaction can be due to induction of sensitization or late expression of sensitization due to decreased memory or cross reaction with an allergen that has a positive reaction with a normal reading.

However, 20% of cases of dermatitis observed during childhood are in fact contact dermatitis and children should therefore undergo patch testing. Before the age of six years, children require testing with a suitable, safe standard series. Certain sources of allergens specific for children such as connubial dermatitis must be sought in order to determine the relevance of positive tests. The concentration of metals in the ECDRG standard series makes it unsuitable for young children and open tests may be used instead.

Atopy patch tests (APTs) are able to identify these triggering factors and consist of the epicutaneous application of allergens for 48hours with evaluation of the resulting eczematous lesions after 48 and 72hours, according to the reading criteria of the European Task Force on Atopic Dermatitis (ETFAD). APTs show a higher specificity than skin prick and specific IgE tests, since the pathophysiological mechanism of the reaction induced is very similar to what occurs in AD lesions. The standardization of APTs to aeroallergens has brought a certain degree of reliability to this method, which is not the...

Since patients are often on multiple drug regimes, it is often difficult to pinpoint the relevant drug from history alone. Besides clinical and chronological parameters, patch testing with the suspected compound has been reported as helpful in determining the cause of a CADR and in studying the physiopathological mechanisms involved in such reactions. The key advantage of drug patch tests is that they can be performed using any commercialized form of drugs and without hospital surveillance because they only rarely induce adverse reactions, which in any event are mild. The method for performing drug patch tests has been described, and requisite commercialized material is now commercia...
