Résumé
Non-melanoma skin cancer [NMSC] is the most common malignancy in humans. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of NMSCs that originates from the keratinocytes of the basal layer. It usually has slow growth and only local invasion. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second common type of NMSCs, which is malignant neoplasm of keratinocytes with involvement of full thickness of epidermis
Résumé
Introduction: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome [KTS] is a rare congenital mesodermal abnormality characterized by varicose veins, cutaneous capillary malformation, as well as bone and soft tissue hypertrophy
Case Report: A 2-week-old female infant presented to our clinic because of vascular nevus and progressive enlargement of her right extremities and trunk since birth. The patient was treated with 595-nm pulsed-dye laser [PDL]. Her port-wine stain [PWS] disappeared completely after third PDL session and the soft tissue hypertrophy stopped. The patient experienced neither recurrence nor any change in size after 7 years of follow up
Conclusion: PDL can treat KTS completely with no reccurence if it is used in "early stage" of disease
Résumé
Facial metastasis from colorectal cancer is very unusual. Herein, we report a 53-year-old man with history of colon cancer who was referred to our clinic because of an asymptomatic nodule on his chin for one year. Histopathologic examination of the nodule revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma, which was similar to that of the primary colon adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent radiotherapy for his skin metastasis, but he died 13 months later from widespread metastasis
Résumé
Hydatid cyst mostly presents solitary cyst in right lobe of liver. It is asymptomatic and patient presents with pressure effects or rupture of cyst. We introduce a patient who was referred to the emergency room with history of blunt trauma and symptoms of abdominal pain and generalized severe pruritus without anaphylaxis and urticaria. Explorative laparotomy showed a ruptured hydatid cyst. Albendazole 400 milligram was prescribed twice a day for 4 weeks after operation. The patient discharged with healthy appearance. There was no abnormal findings in further followup visits

Cutaneous drug reaction is a common side effect of antiepileptic drugs [AEDs]. In recent years, a significant increase in cases of cutaneous drug reaction due to AEDs and some changes in its pattern in our department have been noticed. Therefore, we carried out this study to present clinical and paraclinical characteristics of these cases. All records of patients who were hospitalized at our hospital with a diagnosis of cutaneous drug reaction due to anticonvulsant therapy between March 2006 and September 2009 were reviewed. The most common offending drug was lamotrigine. The main indication of anticonvulsant therapy was for idiopathic seizures. The most frequent type of cutaneous reaction was maculopapular and/or erythrodermic rash. Eosinophilia was detected in 56.5% of the patients. Although serious reactions with AEDs are not common, they may be life threatening. So, timely and accurate diagnosis can prevent fatal reactions and affects subsequent anticonvulsant treatment options
Résumé
Granuloma faciale [GF] is a rare cutaneous disorder categorized as a localized form of small-vessel vasculitis. Clinically, it manifests as single or multiple well-demarcated red-brown plaques, papules and nodules, nearly always confined to the face. Herein, we report a 39-year-old man with multiple red-brown infiltrated plaques on face and extrafacial lesions on back, shoulders and both arms. Skin biopsy revealed typical histopathological findings of GF. The patient failed to respond to pulsed dye laser but intralesional triamcinolone combined with cryotherapy led to an acceptable response
