ABSTRACT
@#A 51-year-old gravida 5 para 5 (5005) presented with an increasing abdominal girth and a palpable abdominal mass. She was initially diagnosed with ovarian new growth and underwent exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperatively, the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries were grossly normal and a large mass was seen attached to the cecum where the appendix should be referral to surgery service was done. Right hemicolectomy and ileostomy were performed. The histopathology report was “suggestive of a Müllerian adenosarcoma (MAS) involving the appendix and cecum.” Microscopic examination showed evidence of endometriosis with no evidence of sarcomatous overgrowth, features that are favorable prognostic factors associated with higher disease-free survival. Postoperatively, the plan of management was hormonal therapy. Extragenital MAS is rare. This case is the fourth case to be reported in the literature to arise from the colon. Although there is still no standard of treatment, accurate diagnosis is imperative for appropriate management.

Abstract Müllerian adenosarcoma is a very rare gynecological disease, comprising 5% of uterine sarcomas. Extragenital localizations are even rarer.We report a very interesting case of a 27-year-old woman complaining of pelvic pain, with a subsequent diagnosis of extragenital Müllerian adenosarcoma. This is the first case reported in the literature with a complete and wide imaging description. Even if rare, Müllerian adenosarcoma should be hypothesized in case of young female patients presenting with suspicious pelvic mass.
Resumo O adenosarcoma Mülleriano é uma doença ginecológica muito rara, compreendendo 5% dos sarcomas uterinos. Localizações extragenitais são ainda mais raras. Relatamos um caso muito interessante de uma mulher de 27 anos queixando-se de dor pélvica com diagnóstico subsequente de adenosarcoma Mülleriano extragenital. Este é o primeiro caso relatado na literatura com uma descrição completa e ampla de imagem. Mesmo que raro, o adenosarcoma Mülleriano deve ser hipotetizado no caso de pacientes jovens do sexo feminino com massa pélvica suspeita.

Extragenital infections can occur concurrently with simultaneous urogenital infections. Extragenital sites are believed to serve as hidden reservoirs and play a critical role in their transmission. The etiological relationship of the most widespread Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) pathogen to reproductive tract has long been established, but the distribution to extragenital sites appears to be infrequent and its correlation with the sexual practice still requires to be investigated. Optimal-screening strategies for extragenital infections are largely unknown. However, there is a lack of data on clinical outcomes and optimal treatment regimens for rectal and pharyngeal extragenital infections. Further studies are needed in settings other than reproductive health and STD clinics, especially in primary care clinics and resource-limited settings.
ABSTRACT
Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis presenting as white papules and atrophic patches in the anogenital region. Extragenital LSA is rare and commonly affects the neck, thighs, and the trunk. A 68-year-old woman presented with a well-demarcated, whitish linear plaque on the forehead that was observed several months prior to presentation. A biopsy specimen showed hyperkeratosis and thinning of the epidermis and homogenization of collagen in the papillary dermis with a subepidermal cleft. Mild periappendageal lymphocytic infiltration and eccrine gland atrophy secondary to thickening of collagen bundles were observed in the deep dermis. Based on the clinical and histopathological findings, this patient was diagnosed with extragenital LSA and concomitant morphea along the Blaschko's lines.

El liquen escleroso es una dermatosis inflamatoria crónica de piel y semimucosas que afecta princi-palmente vulva y región perianal, la localización extragenital vista sólo en 15 a 20% de los casos es rara en la infancia. La presentación más frecuente es la anogenital con pápulo-placas blanco marfil, atrofia, erosiones, púrpura y esclerosis. En mujeres afecta simétricamente zona interna de vulva, pe-rianal y periné adquiriendo forma típica en ocho, sin afectar vagina o himen. El liquen escleroso ex-tragenital se localiza principalmente en el dorso, cuello, periumbilical, muñecas y axilas con lesiones similares a las descriptas. Presentamos el caso clínico de una escolar de 11 años, sin patologías previas, que consulta por der-matosis situada en piel y mucosas topografiada en tronco y genitales. En piel, zona escapular bilate-ral, se observan placas blanco-nacaradas de cen-tro atrófico, sin esclerosis palpable. En mucosas, afectaba labios mayores, menores y zona perianal en forma de ocho, con atrofia y coloración blanco-brillosa. Refiere un año de evolución, con prurito vulvar y constipación. Se realiza diagnóstico de li-quen escleroso genital y extragenital y tratamiento con buena evolución.La importancia de conocer su diagnóstico radica en que es una patología que afecta la calidad de vida de los pacientes, por su sintomatología, su po-sible repercusión sexual y urinaria, y su potencial riesgo de carcinoma espinocelular. Es importante tener un alto índice de sospecha, ya que, debido a su baja frecuencia en la edad pediátrica, muchas veces el diagnóstico es tardío.
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory der-matosis of skin and semi-mucosae, important for its sexual and urinary repercussion, and its poten-tial risk of squamous cell carcinoma.Mainly affects vulva and perianal region, extrage-nital localization seen only in 15 to 20% of cases is rare in childhood. The most frequent presenta-tion is anogenital with white ivory papule-plates, atrophy, erosions, purpura and sclerosis. In women it affects the inner area of the vulva, peria-nal and perineum, acquiring a typical shape in eight, without affecting the vagina or hymen. The extragenital sclerosus lichen is located mainly on the back, neck, periumbilical, wrists and armpits with lesions similar to those described.We present the case of a schoolgirl of 11 years, without previous pathologies, who consulted for dermatosis located on the skin and mucous mem-branes on the trunk and genitals. In skin, bilateral scapular area, white-nacreous plates of atrophic center are observed, without palpable sclerosis. In mucous membranes, it affected the labia mi-nora, majora and perianal zone in eight form, with atrophy and white-shiny coloration. She referred a year of evolution, with vulvar pruritus and constipation. Genital and extragenital lichen sclerosus diagnosis was made and had a good evolution with treatment.

El liquen escleroso (LE) es una enfermedad mucocutánea inflamatoria crónica de etiología desconocida. Se lo ha vinculado con diversos factores inmunológicos, genéticos, hormonales, infecciosos y traumáticos. Se presenta generalmente en mujeres entre la cuarta y quinta década de la vida y su localización habitual es la genital. Las formas extragenitales son poco frecuentes y asientan en tronco, cuello y extremidades. Debido a que los síntomas que provoca en el área genital, como el prurito, dispareunia, dolor y disuria alteran la calidad de vida del paciente, es fundamental realizar un diagnóstico en forma temprana y el tratamiento adecuado. Presentamos cuatro casos de LE genital y extragenital.
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease of unknown aetiology. It has been linked to various immunological, genetic, hormonal, infectious and traumatic factors. It usually appears in women between fourth and fifth decade of life and usual location is genital area. Extragenital forms are rare and located on trunk, neck and extremities. Because the symptoms affecting genital area, such as itch, dyspareunia, pain and dysuria, may cause a high impact on the quality of life of patients, early diagnosis and appropiate treatment are essential. Four cases of genital and extragenital lichen sclerosus are reported.

Bowenoid papulosis (BP) is a disease that mainly occurs in sexually active young adults. The patients present with multiple pigmented papular lesions with a verrucous surface on the anogenital area. Although extragenital BP is usually associated with concomitant genital involvement, a few cases of isolated extragenital BP have been reported. However, to our knowledge, BP of the nipple has not yet been reported in the medical literature. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman who presented with isolated extragenital BP of the nipple caused by human papillomavirus-16.

ABSTRACT
Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is an inflammatory disease that primarily causes anogenital lesion in middle aged women. We present here a case of facial LSA with an asymptomatic, well-demarcated, whitish to bluish, atrophic patch in a linear pattern on the forehead of a 48-year-old woman. This case showed an atypical clinical presentation and it mimicked en coup de sabre, but the histopathologic results confirmed the diagnosis of LSA.

El liquen escleroso (LE) es una enfermedad inflamatoria, crónica y benigna. De etiología desconocida, se ha vinculado con diversos factores autoinmunológicos, genéticos, hormonales, infecciosos y traumáticos. Hay dos variedades clínicas de esta enfermedad: genital y extra-genital. La localización más frecuente en ambos sexos es la genital. Se presenta un caso clínico de LE extra-genital, con lesiones cutáneas poco frecuentes, ampollares y hemorrágicas, que coexistían con placas atróficas de larga evolución, no diagnosticadas previamente.
Lichen sclerosus is an inflammatory disease, benign, chronic, of unknown aetiology. It has been linked with many factors such as autoimmune, genetic, hormonal and infectious diseases, as well as trauma. There are two clinical types of this disease: genital and extra-genital. The most frequent in both sexes is the genital form. We present a rare case of extra-genital localization with bullous and haemorrhagic manifestations that co-existed with late atrophic plaques, previously undiagnosed.
ABSTRACT
Primary syphilis affects the genital and, less frequently, the extragenital regions. Approximately two-thirds of extragenital chancres occur above the neck, and about one-half of these are seen on the lips, the perioral region, or in the oral cavity. We present a case of a 32-year-old woman with a 2-month history of discharging ulcers on both oral angles. She had a history of orogenital sexual contact. Serologic tests for syphilis was positive, particularly the VDRL (1:128), confirmed by TPHA. The biopsy specimen showed a predominant infiltration of plasma cells in the dermis. The skin lesions improved after 4 weeks treatment with doxycycline.

BACKGROUND: Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a persistent inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology with a predilection for the genital area. Although there were many case reports in Korea, there are no studies regarding the clinicopathologic comparison of genital and extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics and differences between genital and extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed by reviewing the clinicopatholgic records of 33 patients who were diagnosed with lichen sclerosus et atrophicus from 2000 to 2006 in Yonsei University Severance Hospital. RESULTS: The most common clinical manifestation is a whitish patch with pruritus on labia minor. The ratio of male to female patients in genital and extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus were 1:10.5 and 1:2.3 respectively. Disease onset ages were 49.9 years and 44.2 years respectively. The most common subjective symptom was pruritus. However, no symptom was more significant in extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus compared to genital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. Most of the lesions presented as whitish patches and plaques but atrophy, erythema and lichenification could also occur. Histopathologic findings of the extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus showed more significant epidermal thinning and cleft formation compared to genital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, which suggests that extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus shows more evolved lesions. A few cases of genital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus showed spongiotic dermatitis, lichen simplex chronicus-like and lichen planus-like features in addition to typical pathology, which were suspected as secondary features or early lesions. All the patients were treated with high to mid-potency topical corticosteroid which were effective in both the genital and extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. There was no cases of squamous cell carcinoma arising in lichen sclerosus et atrophicus during the follow-up. CONCLUSION: Clinically, there were no symptoms significant to extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus and pathologically extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus showed more significant epidermal thinning and cleft formation. Further research regarding the characteristics and differences between genital and extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus should be performed on larger number of cases.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a benign, chronic lymphocyte-mediated dermatosis that causes substantial discomfort and morbidity, most commonly in adult women. It has predilection for the anogenital region, but extragenital lesions also occur, mainly on the upper trunk, axillae and buttocks, as slightly sclerotic white scar-like lesions with a wrinkled surface. Extragenital lesions are clinically similar to genital lesions, but due to their rarity and lack of symptoms, clinicians often make a misdiagnosis. We herein present a case of extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, which began on the upper back and spread to other areas displaying typical wrinkled, white scar-like lesions.
