In her second pregnancy she failed to respond to high‐dose oral prednisolone. She was treated successfully with intravenous immunoglobulin (2 g/kg each infusion cycle) as a steroid‐sparing agent during both the antepartum and postpartum period. The baby was born at the 36th week of gestation. No complications were noted for either mother or baby. After ceasing intravenous immunoglobulin, azathioprine (up to a dose of 1 mg/kg/day) was used to adequately control her pemphigoid gestationis.

Given the high rate of SLNB positivity, we believe that SLNB has a role in the management of MCC. As there is a risk of a false negative SLNB, close observation of the regional nodal basins is warranted in patients who have had a negative SLNB. Further studies are required to investigate the impact of SLNB on survival.

We reviewed its associations with immunosuppression and phototherapy, as well as the risks of malignant progression. This is a retrospective review on all cases of porokeratosis seen at the National Skin Centre, Singapore, between 2000 and 2010. A total of 94 patients were reviewed. Clinical and histological diagnoses were confirmed in 63% patients. Most patients were Chinese (89%) with a mean age of 51.6 years. The male to female ratio was 1.4:1. The four main clinical variants were classical porokeratosis of Mibelli (56%), disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) (18%), disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP) (11%), and linear porokeratosis (13%).

Investigations revealed the patient was heterozygous for prothrombin gene mutation and was also found to have a T‐cell receptor gamma chain gene rearrangement. Histological examination revealed a mid‐lower dermal medium vessel lymphocytic vasculitis with prominent fibrinoid ring within its wall. These findings are consistent with a recently described condition known as lymphocytic thrombophilic arteritis. This has so far been considered to be a benign clinical condition not associated with extra cutaneous manifestations. The novel findings in the present...

Two patients were trialled on 0.1% rapamycin in petrolatum and the other two patients with 0.1% rapamycin solution (Rapamune) applied topically. Both preparations were rapidly and equally effective, however the 0.1% in petrolatum was much better tolerated. Younger patients with smaller angiofibromas had the best response with near complete clearance. Both preparations were more cost effective than pulsed dye laser under general anaesthesia. Although larger studies are needed, this treatment shows a potential to be a first‐line management for facial angiofibromas in TSC and appears safe to start in early childhood.

The cessation of isotretinoin and symptomatic treatment resolved the symptoms within 6 weeks, with no signs of sacroiliitis on repeat MRI 10 months later. The temporal association of disease onset and commencement of isotretinoin along with rapid recovery on withdrawal supports the role of isotretinoin in this case.

Considered one of the original immune‐modifying agents, it is used widely for the treatment of steroid‐recalcitrant inflammatory diseases. While there are abundant studies documenting its efficacy in rheumatic diseases, the use of methotrexate for dermatological conditions, with the exception of psoriasis, has yet to be comprehensively explored. This two‐part review firstly outlines current data concerning the pharmacology of methotrexate, including its mechanism of action, side‐effect profile and recommended therapeutic approach, and, secondly, examines the emerging evidence for methotrexate's efficacy in a wide range of cutaneous disorders.

It is rare, with an incidence of 1–5 patients per million per year. The clinical manifestations are characterised by fever and the rapid appearance of disseminated sterile pustules 3–5 days after the commencement of treatment. It is accompanied by marked neutrophilia. Mucous membranes are not typically involved. The drugs conferring the highest risk of AGEP according to the EuroSCAR study are aminopenicillins, pristinamycin, hydroxychloroquine, antibacterial sulphonamides, terbinafine and diltiazem. The pathogenesis of AGEP involves the initial influx of CD8 cytotoxic T‐cells resulting in the apoptosis of keratinocytes and formation of vesicle...

A 14‐month old child, born to consanguineous parents, presented with a history of neonatal bullae and subsequent development of dystrophic nails, sparse eyelashes and eyebrows, woolly scalp hair, abnormal dental development and a desquamating erythematous rash at sites of trauma. A clinical diagnosis of ED‐SFS was supported by skin biopsy findings of suprabasal intraepidermal clefting and a loss of immunoreactivity for PKP1. Sequencing of genomic DNA revealed a homozygous 5 base pair deletion in exon 5 of the PKP1 gene, designated c.897del5 (CAACC). This new mutation creates a frameshift, leading to a downstream premature termination codon, p.Pro299fsX61. This case highlights the clinicopathological consequences of inherited m...

Although EAH is benign, a therapeutic excision may be required for symptomatic or cosmetic considerations. We hereby report a typical case of EAH presenting as a painful and rapidly growing plaque on the right thigh. The associated symptoms of pain, hyperhidrosis and local hypertrichosis caused walking difficulties until the patient was cured by two excisional surgeries.

Our objective was to analyse the clinical and pathological features of 30 patients with skin metastases from lung carcinoma. Cutaneous biopsies codified as ‘skin metastasis from lung carcinoma’ during 1988–2009 at Bellvitge Hospital (Barcelona, Spain) were reviewed. The histological types of 30 lung carcinomas (29 men, 1 woman) were squamous cell carcinoma (10 cases), undifferentiated carcinoma (7), adenocarcinoma (6), small cell carcinoma (5) and large cell carcinoma (2). The most frequent clinical presentation was as a solitary nodule (16 cases), and the most frequent site was the head (13 cases). Cutaneous metastases were present at the time of diagnosis of the lung primary tumour in 66...

Ustekinumab is a human monoclonal antibody with a novel mechanism, selectively targeting the shared p40 subunit of interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) and IL‐23. Its efficacy has been well documented in three large phase‐III trials (PHOENIX I, PHEONIX 2, ACCEPT). Safety data on this new biological agent continue to grow. To date, no link between ustekinumab and cutaneous carcinogenesis has been demonstrated and, to our knowledge, these cases are the first of their kind. Importantly, both these patients had independent risk factors for developing non‐melanoma skin cancers; however, the specific time...

Three of the four patients were on long‐term prednisolone therapy at the time of presentation. In each case, the diagnosis of cryptococcosis was established by a biopsy of the skin.

Based on physical examination, pathological findings, and immunofluorescence findings, a diagnosis of lichen planus (LP) was made. Computed tomography scan revealed a thymoma. After thymectomy, cutaneous LP lesions subsided spontaneously. Oral lesions responded well to oral etretinate therapy. We speculate that direct tissue injury by CD8+ T cells, activated by abnormal regulation of lymphocytes within the thymus, may cause LP.

In the presence of arterial pathology, individual rings are centred around ascending arterial vessels that supply the corresponding area of skin within an arterial hexagon that clinically presents with a blanched centre. Confluence of multiple arterial hexagons generates a stellate (star‐like) pattern. In the presence of a primary venous pathology, individual rings correspond to the underlying reticular veins forming multiple venous rings. Focal involvement of a limited number of vessels presents with a branched (racemosa) configuration while a generalized involvement forms a reticulate (net‐like) pattern. ‘Livedo’ refers to the colour and not the patte...

Interestingly, the infection had an unusually long duration (4 weeks), and was not acquired directly through skin‐to‐skin contact, as it usually does among athletes (herpes gladiatorum). In our case, transmission was acquired through the use of shared boxing gloves contaminated by HSV‐1. To the best of our knowledge, herpes gladiatorum, or wrestler's herpes, has not been described previously in boxers and infection over the knuckles is not commonly reported.

Syphilis was suspected but the non‐treponemal serological test used (the rapid plasma reagin test (RPR)) was falsely negative due to the prozone phenomenon. Treatment with benzathine penicillin resulted in normalization of adrenal function and resolution of the cutaneous findings. Repeat testing of the previously obtained serum sample showed the RPR to be positive on increasing dilutions of serum, consistent with the prozone effect.

The phone cover was advertised as being composed of silicone only. Patch testing with the cover material confirmed the diagnosis. In addition, there were positive patch test reactions to a number of allergens in the plastics and glues series from Chemotechnique Diagnostics (Malmö, Sweden). The increasing use of phone covers and the multiple positive reactions to chemicals used in plastic manufacture seen in this case suggest that similar allergic reactions may occur more frequently in the future and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of facial dermatitis.

The disorder has been recently shown to result from loss‐of‐function mutations in the extracellular matrix protein 1 gene (ECM1) on 1Q21. The two cases reported here had typical clinical and histological features consistent with LP. Direct sequencing of amplified DNA from the second patient showed a single nucleotide substitution (C > T) at nucleotide 94 within exon 2 of the ECM1 gene, nonsense mutation Q32X.

The eruption developed at the vaccination site 1 month after vaccination and the lesion gradually disseminated over the body within 2 months. A biopsy specimen of the skin lesion showed degenerated collagen bundles surrounded by imperfect palisading histiocytes, lymphocytes and epithelioid cells in the dermis, which led to a diagnosis of GA‐like reaction as a secondary reaction to BCG inoculation. The eruption at the vaccination site and the scattered GA reaction resolved after 1 month of treatment with prednisolone valerate acetate ointment, leaving only pigmentation.

Twenty‐five years previously, the patient had suffered a trauma in the same area from falling off his motorcycle. We believe that, despite the great lapse in time, this injury may have facilitated the onset of DLE in the very same area, through long‐term destabilization of the local neuroimmune network. The case fits the recently coined concept of the immunocompromised district, a cutaneous region with altered immune control, more susceptible to harbouring opportunistic infections, tumours, and immune disorders.

Herein, we report a case of generalized flare of pustular psoriasis induced by PEGylated IFN‐α2b (PEG‐IFN‐α2b) in a 59‐year‐old woman with a 15‐year history of pustular psoriasis and chronic hepatitis C. Interferon‐α therapy was discontinued and the rash resolved after treatment with cyclosporin and systemic methylprednisolone. The potential side effect of PEG‐IFN‐α2b in inducing or exacerbating psoriasis should be kept in mind when treating patients with a history of psoriasis or pustular psoriasis.

After the lesion of concern is excised, a strip of Fixomull is applied to the skin adjacent to the wound edge with an approximately 2 mm gap between the Fixomull and the incision edge. The wound is then closed with interrupted sutures through the Fixomull, with care to ensure wound edge eversion. Fixomull provides extra tensile strength. The sutures are removed at approximately 14 days, and the patient given a prophylactic course of oral antibiotics only if at high risk of infection.

Three of the four patients failed therapy with systemic tacrolimus, despite two of these showing an initial clinical response; the fourth patient remains on tacrolimus monotherapy with good control of skin disease. Although oral tacrolimus was well‐tolerated in this small group of adults, the clinical efficacy in this series for severe AE was poor. Tacrolimus may yet have a role in less severe disease, but larger prospective studies are required to qualify its place as a treatment option in AE.

Vascular malformations, such as cutis marmorata congenita telangiectasia and benign forms of livedo reticularis, and sinister conditions, such as meningococcal meningitis or Sneddon's syndrome, can all present with a reticulate pattern. The clinical presentation and morphology is determined by the nature and extent of the underlying pathology and the involvement of a particular vascular network. This review has been divided into four instalments. In the present paper, we discuss the anatomy and physiology of the complex network of vascular structures that support the function of the skin and subcutis.

The role of sex steroid hormones in female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is less known. A good knowledge of the pathophysiology underlying MAGA and FPHL empowers the clinician to confidently counsel patients and make informed therapeutic decisions. Vigorous research in recent years has provided greater insight into the role of genetics and sex steroids in physiological hair growth and cycling, as well as in hair follicle miniaturization, the histological hallmark of MAGA and FPHL. In the present review article directed towards clinicians, we discuss the current understanding of the role of androgens and oestrogens, as well as genetic ass...

Considering the patient's age and general condition, she was treated with electron beam irradiation, which led to the almost complete disappearance of the tumour. Because cutaneous angiosarcoma is an aggressive tumour with a high propensity for local recurrence and distant metastases, therapy preferably involves a multimodal approach. However, monotherapy with radiation may be effective in some cases of cutaneous angiosarcoma.

Other symptoms included intermittent headache, fatigue, abdominal pain and nausea. Porphyrin studies were markedly raised, with features consistent with hereditary coproporphyria (HCP). Despite strict precautions, symptoms remained significantly problematic. Regular haem arginate infusions of 3 mg/kg per day over 4 days on a monthly basis were commenced and resulted in significant improvement of the patient's symptoms and a reduction in urinary porphobilinogen.

The hypopigmented macules showed no discernible erythema upon rubbing or the local application of heat. The naevus anaemicus‐like macules may be a relatively common but under‐recognized feature in DC. More studies are required to determine the incidence and histopathology of these macules.

Initially, ALHE and Kimura's disease were thought to be conditions within the same disease spectrum, but it is now widely accepted that they are two separate disease entities. The two lesions may coexist in one patient. Thus, ALHE and Kimura's disease may be different manifestations of the one disease.

It is characterised clinically by fibrofolliculomas, trichodiscomas, pulmonary cysts, spontaneous pneumothoraces and renal cancers. This case illustrates a patient with BHDS and a renal angiomyolipoma. Angiomyolipomas are not described as a feature of BHDS, but rather they can occur sporadically or in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Recent studies suggest that clinical similarities between BHDS and TSC may be explained by FLCN and TSC proteins functioning on a common pathway, mammalian target of rapamycin. This case adds to the literature of cases with clinical similarities.

Several days later, he started to develop mildly pruritic erythematous papules, some studded with white deposits and some with umbilication over the exposed areas corresponding to the spillage of the calcium chloride solution. Histological features revealed interstitial fibrohistiocytic reaction with calcium‐encrusted degenerated collagen bundles in the dermis which was further confirmed by von Kossa stain. He was commenced on topical corticosteroid cream twice daily and the lesions cleared completely between 6 to 10 weeks.

The condition had previously responded to moderate dose oral prednisolone, 50 mg daily, but would recur with weaning. Multiple corticosteroid‐sparing agents were trialled, however these were either ineffective or poorly tolerated. The introduction of clofazimine enabled prednisolone dose reduction, not achieved with other agents, to 22.5 mg daily, and was associated with complete suppression of disease activity. Unfortunately the patient developed a clofazimine‐induced enteropathy and the treatment was ceased after almost 2 years of therapy. Cessation of clofazimine was associated with a flare of the condition. Clofazimine should be considered as a corticosteroid‐sparing agent in r...

Clinically and histologically, the features of LyP in children can mimic insect bite reactions, with prominent dermal neutrophils and eosinophils. However, CD30 immunohistochemical staining of atypical lymphocytes within a mixed inflammatory infiltrate should point to the diagnosis of LyP. There is no consensus to guide management of childhood LyP due to its rarity and largely unknown natural course. We discuss our experience with LyP in five children and the use of methotrexate to induce rapid resolution of persistent lesions and to reduce recurrences in two children.

These hyaluronic acids are either more highly cross‐linked or larger in particle size than the less‐viscous subtypes. The microdepot injection technique involves using the 31‐gauge BD insulin syringe (Becton‐Dickinson, North Ryde, NSW Australia) to deposit small amounts of filler (0.05–0.1 mL) throughout the area of volume loss. The procedure is extremely well tolerated, requiring only topical and ice anaesthesia. Using this method, volume restoration can be achieved naturally and progressively over a period of time.

This conflicting mixed reaction suggests that counteractive ingredients might exist in PBL. PBL, if purified, might be a promising source of a novel bleaching agent.

He was under surveillance because of a past history of two melanomas and developed a new lesion. The visible lesion was 1.6 mm in maximum diameter as measured by the scale on the dermatoscope footplate. The dermatoscopic structures present were limited to dots arranged asymmetrically. We believe that the fact that some of these dots were grey provided a useful clue to the diagnosis of melanoma.

This case highlights that the phenomenon may occur in a broad range of clinical scenarios and is not limited to acquired naevi in young adults.

The density of S. aureus colonisation correlates to severity of atopic dermatitis. Children who are S. aureus culture‐positive had no significant demographic or clinical features different to children who were culture‐negative. Only two children grew S. aureus resistant to flucloxacillin (2% resistance rate), which remains the ideal first line of treatment in our local population.

The histology comprises dilatation of follicular infundibula with hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and spongiosis of the infundibular epithelium with perifollicular infiltration of lymphocytes and foamy histiocytes. We treated a 12‐year‐old girl with FFD with topical pimecrolimus for 12 weeks, this resulted in a complete clearance of lesions. After the therapy, the patient was followed for an additional 19 months without signs of relapse. The effects of pimecrolimus in FFD might imply that an inflammatory process inducing secondary reactive hyperkeratosis could be involved in the pathogenesis of FFD.

Histology confirmed the clinical diagnosis of Porokeratosis of Mibelli. The lesion slowly involuted and resolved over 26 weeks of 5% imiquimod cream applied topically and has not recurred during a 36 month follow‐up period.

The pulley loop exists not between the two margins of the wound, but in the outer dermis. The needle entry and exit occur on the undermined undersurface of the dermis. It has mechanical advantages similar to the modified buried dermal suture and compresses less marginal tissue. The pulley suture can secure the wound under tension without creating tension on the epidermis and superficial dermis at the wound edge.
