RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Oral lichen planus is an inflammatory condition that affects the stratified squamous epithelium of the oral mucosa. It occurs more frequently in female patients and it is rarely observed in children, adolescents, or young adults. This study aims to report a case of oral lichen planus in a young patient with a nine-year followup. CASE REPORT: A 19-year-old man reported to the Dentistry Department with a complaint of an asymptomatic white lesion on the dorsum and left lateral border of his tongue, which had appeared a few weeks before. Two weeks later, a second lesion, very similar to the previous one, appeared on the central region of his tongue. An incisional biopsy was performed. The histological slides were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and the expression of interleukin-1beta (IL-1ß) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) was assessed by immunohistochemistry. No pharmacological treatment was prescribed. The clinical and histopathological findings were suggestive of oral lichen planus. The IL-1ß/TNF-α expression was low. There was a spontaneous regression of the lesions after approximately one year. The nine-year follow-up showed no signs of recurrence. CONCLUSION: This case presents atypical features such as the age of the patient and the spontaneous remission of the lesions.


INTRODUÇÃO: O líquen plano oral é uma condição inflamatória que acomete o epitélio escamoso estratificado da mucosa oral. Ocorre mais frequentemente em pacientes do gênero feminino e é raramente encontrado em pacientes pediátricos ou juvenis. O objetivo do presente estudo é relatar um caso de líquen plano oral em um paciente jovem com acompanhamento de nove anos. RELATO DE CASO: Um rapaz de 19 anos procurou atendimento no Departamento de Odontologia com a queixa de uma lesão branca assintomática em região de dorso e borda lateral esquerda de sua língua, com tempo de evolução de algumas semanas. Duas semanas depois, uma segunda lesão, muito similar à primeira, apareceu na região central de sua língua. Uma biópsia incisional foi realizada. As lâminas histológicas foram coradas com hematoxilina-eosina e a expressão de interleucina-1beta (IL-1ß) e de fator de necrose tumoral alfa (TNF-α) foram avaliadas por imunohistoquímica. Nenhum tratamento farmacológico foi prescrito. Os achados clínicos e histopatológicos foram sugestivos de líquen plano oral. A expressão de IL-1ß/TNF-α foi baixa. Houve uma regressão espontânea das lesões após aproximadamente um ano. O acompanhamento de nove anos não detectou sinais de recorrência. CONCLUSÃO: Esse caso apresenta características atípicas, como a idade do paciente e a remissão espontânea das lesões.

RESUMO

Abstract: Background: Of all nail disorders seen in dermatology offices, half of them are due to onychomycosis. The main differential diagnosis is nail psoriasis. The objective of this study was to compare the microscopic findings, other than the presence of fungi, in the clipping of onychomycosis versus normal nails and nail psoriasis. Methods: Cross-sectional study of onychomycosis cases, analyzed by clipping and compared with data on normal nails and those with nail psoriasis. Results: Sixty-two onychomycosis samples were compared with 30 normal nails and 50 nails with psoriasis. In onychomycosis, measurement of subungual region, serous lakes, neutrophils and number of layers of parakeratosis are more intense than in psoriasis. Onychocariosis is less common in psoriasis, while bacteria are more frequent. The nail transition zone is more commonly blurred and irregular in onychomycosis. Conclusion: Clipping helps in the differential diagnosis of onychomycosis and nail psoriasis and may be useful even when fungi are not found.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cancer of the oral cavity is a disease of the head and neck that is difficult to treat. Periodic observation and biopsy are important for its early diagnosis once a premalignant lesion in the oral cavity is confirmed. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of early excisional biopsy by investigating the histological features of oral leukoplakia and the rate of malignant change in the oral cavity. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: A total of 327 patients who underwent punch biopsy of oral cavity from January 2011 to December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively for the presence of initial gross lesions and for their biopsy results. The histological findings of 6 initial gross lesion groups were compared. Additional excisional biopsies were performed in the seven oral cavity subsites. RESULTS: There were 33 cases of oral leukoplakia. The punch biopsies of 3 of these cases (9.1%) showed malignancy. Additional excisional biopsies were performed in 6 cases, 4 of which were malignant (66.7%). Additional excisional biopsies of the tongue were performed in 14 cases (9.0%), 5 of which (35.7%) were malignant. The rate of atypia in leukoplakia (9.1%) was higher than in other atypia groups. Additional excisional biopsies were performed in 3 cases (100%) of atypia of leukoplakia, all of which were assessed to be malignant. CONCLUSION: For tongue leukoplakia, performing an early excisional biopsy rather than an incisional biopsy is recommendable. Moreover, additional excisional biopsies are needed when the initial biopsy is suggestive of hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, or atypia.

RESUMO

Abstract: Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus is a very rare non-hereditary disorder of keratinization with eccrine and hair follicle involvement with only 9 cases described in the literature. In 2009 the term porokeratotic anexial ostial nevus was proposed to comprehend porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus and a related and more common process without follicular involvement: porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus Recent findings suggest that both entities may be produced by a mutation in GJB2 gene, which is associated to KID syndrome. Herein we report 2 cases of porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus and review the existing cases in the Spanish and English literature.

RESUMO

A giant cutaneous horn (GCH) is a morphological description of huge, conical, dense, hyperkeratotic protrusion. Because of its bizarre shape and associated risk of malignancy, GCH requires proper treatment. A 48-year-old male patient visited our department with a GCH on a burn scar of his right hand. It had started to develop about 8 months previously. At initial physical examination, the lesion presented as a hard, dark brown mass of basal area 4×3.5 cm², and height 3.5 cm. Preoperative biopsy confirmed the absence of malignancy. We performed excision of the entire GCH, and biopsy and repaired the resulting defect with full-thickness skin graft. Histopathologic results revealed that all surgical margin were negative for malignancy. Microscopically, the lesion exhibited marked regular acanthosis, parakeratosis and hyperkeratosis with granular layer loss. At 3 months postoperatively, no complication was observed. According to Mantese et al., 58.56% of GCHs originate from malignant or premalignant lesions. And thus, a histopathologic examination is mandatory, and if an accompanying malignant lesion is found, additional resection should be undertaken. In another study, it was concluded the risk of premalignancy or malignancy depends on development time. In our case, the GCH had grown from a burn scar, this has not been previously reported in Korea. Surgeons need to be aware cutaneous horn harbors risks of premalignancy or malignancy, and that histopathological evaluation is indispensable for treatment decision making.

RESUMO

Abstract: Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that often progresses with nail alterations. It is suspected that there is a correlation between nail psoriasis and enthesitis of the distal interphalangeal joint, seeming to serve as a predictor. Objectives: To analyze the profile of patients with nail psoriasis and correlate the presence of nail alterations with psoriatic arthritis, quality of life, extent of psoriasis and the histopathology of the nail. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study with 40 patients with a diagnosis of psoriasis and without systemic treatment. The patient profile was researched, including quality of life and evaluated for the presence of psoriatic arthritis. The severity of the skin psoriasis and the presence of nail lesions were evaluated. Nail fragments were collected and analyzed through clipping. It obtained 100% of positivity for psoriasis in the histopathology exam of the nail plate. Results: Of the 40 patients, 65% were diagnosed with nail psoriasis. Suggestive findings of psoriatic arthritis in hands were present in 33%, being more frequent in those with nail alteration (p = 0.01). In 92.3% of patients diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in the hands there was some nail injury. The most frequent injuries were pitting and onycholysis. Conclusions: Patients with nail psoriasis are usually men, with worse quality of life and higher chance of psoriatic arthritis. The correlation between the nail involvement of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in hands confirms the association between these two forms. The clinical diagnosis of nail psoriasis did not correlate with the histological diagnosis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The differential diagnosis of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis can be difficult when both conditions are localized to the scalp without the involvement of other skin sites. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the histopathological differences between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp and identify favorable criteria for their differential diagnosis. METHODS: We evaluated 15 cases of psoriasis and 20 cases of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp that had been clinicopathologically diagnosed. Skin biopsy sections stained with H&E were examined. Additional immunohistochemistry was performed, including Ki-67, keratin 10, caspase-5, and GLUT-1. RESULTS: On histopathological examination, mounds of parakeratosis with neutrophils, spongiform micropustules of Kogoj, and clubbed and evenly elongated rete ridges were significantly more frequently observed in psoriasis. Follicular plugging, shoulder parakeratosis and prominent lymphocytic exocytosis were significantly more common in seborrheic dermatitis. Moreover, significantly higher mitotic figures were observed in psoriatic lesions than in seborrheic dermatitis. Immunohistochemistry did not show any difference between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. CONCLUSION: Histopathological features favoring psoriasis include mounds of parakeratosis with neutrophils, spongiform micropustules of Kogoj, clubbed and evenly elongated rete ridges, and increased mitotic figures (≥6/high-powered field). Features indicating seborrheic dermatitis are follicular plugging, shoulder parakeratosis and prominent lymphocytic exocytosis. Immunohistochemistry was not helpful in differentiating psoriasis from seborrheic dermatitis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It is difficult to distinguish between actinic cheilitis and lichen planus histologically, because both types of lesions exhibit variable degrees of epidermal dysplasia and dermal lichenoid inflammation. There is currently no consensus on suitable immunohistochemical markers for distinguishing these 2 conditions. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine histological features and immunohistochemical markers that could be used to differentiate actinic cheilitis from lichen planus. METHODS: Fifteen cases of actinic cheilitis and 11 cases of lichen planus of the lips were included in the study. Histological changes such as parakeratosis, hyperkeratosis, atrophy, acanthosis, ulceration, necrosis, dermal solar elastosis, degrees of epidermal dysplasia and dermal inflammatory cell infiltration were examined. Verhoeff-van Gieson stained sections were quantified for the degree of elastosis using computer software. The following immunohistochemical markers were stained for: bcl-2, Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase, matrix metalloproteinase-3, matrix metalloproteinase-9, CD4, CD8, c-kit, and prolyl-4-hydroxylase. RESULTS: The only histologically appreciable difference between the diseases was the degree of epidermal dysplasia. No differences were observed with respect to solar elastosis using the Verhoeff-van Gieson stain. We found that cell proliferation markers such as proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Ki-67 were more highly expressed in actinic cheilitis than in lichen planus. In addition, the number of c-kit-positive cells observed in actinic cheilitis was significantly higher than in lichen planus. The expression levels of the other tested markers were not significantly different between the 2 diseases. CONCLUSION: The immunohistochemical markers proliferating cell nuclear antigen, Ki-67, and c-kit may help to differentiate actinic cheilitis from lichen planus of the lips.

RESUMO

Porokeratosis are a group of hereditary or acquired disorders characterized by annular plaques with an atrophic centre and a hyperkeratotic peripheral ridge. Pathologically, porokeratosis is characterized by a column of parakeratotic cells, called the cornoid lamella. This report describes a 55-year-old male with his two sons affected by porokeratosis of Mibelli and it was confirmed histopathologically. The rarity of this disorder in family, its clinical exuberance and the destructive character of the lesions, as well as, nasal, finger and abdomen involvement were unusual in case of porokeratosis

RESUMO

Darier's disease is an autosomal dominant acantholytic skin disorder. The disease is characterized by symmetric distribution of hyperkeratotic papules in seborrheic regions of the skin and nail changes with potential for exacerbation by ultraviolet light, heat, occlusion, or stress. It presents as generalized (hypertrophic or vesiculobullous type) or localized (linear or zosteriform type) condition. A 53-year-old male patient presented with hyperkeratotic verrucous papules on the back that had an onset in childhood. Clinically, his condition resembled lichen simplex chronicus. The lesions were exacerbated by sun exposure or sweating. A 3-mm punch biopsy specimen revealed prominent acantholysis with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. Numerous corps grains and corps ronds were present near the granular layer. We report a case of localized Darier's disease mimicking lichen simplex chronicus on the back. The skin lesion improved following treatment with a topical corticosteroid. Localized Darier's disease should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of lichen simplex chronicus on the back.

RESUMO

Eczematid-like purpura of Doucas and Kapetanakis is a type of pigmented purpuric dermatoses. It is clinically characterized by pruritic seasonal eruptions occurring in the spring and summer, and histopathologically characterized by spongiosis and parakeratosis in the epidermis and by the lymphocyte-mediated leakage of erythrocytes from capillaries in the papillary dermis. We report a case of eczematid-like purpura of Doucas and Kapetanakis that showed clinical improvement with narrowband UVB (NB-UVB). The patient was a 66-year-old man with pruritic, well-demarcated scaly purpuric patches on his feet that appeared 2 months prior. A histopathological study showed mild superficial perivascular lymphocytic infiltration, focal spongiosis with exocytosis, and erythrocyte leakage. We initiated treatment with an oral antihistamine, ascorbic acid, and a topical steroid, but the lesion was aggravated. We therefore treated the patient with NB-UVB for 6 months, and the lesions regressed progressively with residual postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.

RESUMO

La paraqueratosis granular es un desorden de la queratinización adquirido, secundario a un error en la diferenciación epidérmica. Se presenta en forma de pápulas y placas pruriginosas, eritematosas o de color marrón oscuro, que afectan áreas intertriginosas. Su patogénesis es desconocida, pero algunos casos han sido relacionados con ciertos factores, tales como irritantes físicos o agentes químicos. Entre los hallazgos histopatológicos se incluyen un estrato córneo engrosado, paraqueratosis compacta con retención de gránulos de queratohialina, mientras que el estrato granuloso está preservado. Presentamos un caso de paraqueratosis granular axilar en una mujer y se revisan las principales características clínicas, histológicas y terapéuticas de esta inusual entidad.


Granular parakeratosis is a rare acquired keratinization disorder suspected as a consequence of an error in epidermal differentiation. Clinically it appears as dark or erythematous pruritic papules and plaques, that usually involve intertriginous areas. The pathogenesis of this entity is unknown, but some cases have been related to different factors, such as physical irritation or chemical agents. Histopathologic features include a thickened stratum corneum, compact parakeratosis with retention of keratohyalin granules whereas the stratum granulosum is preserved. We report a case of axillary granular parakeratosis in an adult female and a revision of the clinical, therapeutic and histological features of this unusual entity

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the clinical, histological and immunohistochemical findings and treatment of chronic actinic dermatitis in Korean patients. METHODS: Seventeen Korean patients with chronic actinic dermatitis were enrolled for this study. The clinical and histological findings and the results of phototest were reviewed with medical records, clinical photographs and pathologic slides. We also reviewed the effectiveness of the treatments in all patients with chronic actinic dermatitis. RESULTS: In all patients with chronic actinic dermatitis, pruritus was severe, and the patients present in the early stages with erythemas on the face, neck and the back of the hands. As the eruption progresses, it became lichenified and scaly plaques and papules developed. The face, upper extremity and neck were most commonly affected. The most common abnormal results of the phototests were decreased MED-UVB alone. In 8 patients with actinic reticuloid, histopathologic findings showed irregular acanthosis, parakeratosis, spongiosis, atypical hyperchromatic cells with cerebriform nuclei, epidermotropism, Pautrier-like microabscess, deep perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates, vertically-streaked collagen in the papillary dermis, stellate and multinucleated fibroblasts. Treatment includes topical tacrolimus and corticosteroid, oral corticosteroid, azathioprine and cyclosporine. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed classic clinical and histological findings. The most common abnormal results of the phototests were decreased MED-UVB alone. Topical steroid, tacrolimus and systemic cyclosporine, azathioprine are effective in treating chronic actinic dermatitis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory labial lesions are quite common in dermatology. However, a few studies have been performed regarding the clinical and histopathological findings of inflammatory labial diseases. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and histopathological features of inflammatory labial diseases. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 48 patients who underwent biopsy for inflammatory labial lesions between June 2005 and December 2012. Clinical features and histopathological findings of the lesions were investigated, and they were compared to each other for differential diagnosis. RESULTS: The most frequent inflammatory labial diseases were actinic cheilitis (25%), oral lichen planus (23%), plasma cell cheilitis (23%), oral lichenoid lesion (17%), and eczema (12%). Most of the labial lesions were located on the lower lip (87%). We found a broad overlap in the clinical features of lesions with each other, and in many cases, clinical impressions were inconsistent with their final diagnosis. Histopathologically, the degree of eosinophilic infiltrates in actinic cheilitis was comparable to those in eczema. Oral lichen planus showed orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis rather than parakeratosis, and oral lichenoid lesion displayed more frequent perivascular and deep inflammatory cell infiltrates than oral lichen planus. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of inflammatory labial diseases may be challenging, because inflammatory labial diseases often show similar clinical features and have a broad overlap in histological features. Therefore, clinico-pathologic correlation is necessary to confirm the diagnosis and for proper management.

RESUMO

Trastuzumab (Herceptin), a humanized monoclonal antibody, is a cancer drug developed to target the human epidermal receptor (HER) 2, which is overexpressed in some cancer cells. Cutaneous side effects, such as folliculitis, xerosis, and alopecia have not been reported with therapies targeting HER2, in spite of the frequent observances of such with the therapies targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor. We experienced a patient in whom psoriasis was triggered by the trastuzumab treatment for breast cancer. She was a 57-year-old woman with erythematous and scaly plaques occurring a few months after starting trastuzumab, with repeated aggravation after the re-administration of trastuzumab for the breast cancer. Histologic examination showed the typical features of psoriasis with parakeratosis, epidermal hyperplasia, elongation of the rete ridges, and a lymphocytic and polymorphonuclear cell infiltrate in the dermis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of psoriasis triggered by trastuzumab treatment for breast cancer.

RESUMO

Verruciform xanthoma (VX) is a rare, benign lesion that presents in the oral cavity, skin, or genital organs as a verrucous, papillomatous, or flat papule with varying colors. VX has indistinct clinical features, making histopathological examination necessary for a definitive diagnosis. Histologically, VX is characterized by parakeratosis, rete ridges with uniform depth, and an accumulation of the foam cells, which are also known as the "xanthoma cells". These foam cells test positive for antibodies, such as CD-68 and vimentin; it is thought that VX foam cells are derived from the monocyte-macrophage lineage, and that VX's pathogenic mechanism is partly related to an immune mechanism. Nevertheless, the pathogenesis of VX remains unclear. VX can be treated by surgical excision; other medical, chemical, and radiological treatments are not required postoperatively. Recurrence and malignant transformation of VX are rare. Two patients, each with a mass of unknown origin on the palatal gingiva, were presented at our clinic. Excisional biopsies of the masses were performed for a histological diagnosis after clinical and radiological examinations. Histological examination confirmed a diagnosis of VX in both cases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Esophageal lichen planus (LP) has been described as a cause of nonspecific esophagitis that may cause dysphagia, but its incidence is unknown. We aimed to estimate the incidence of esophageal LP in a defined geographic region and describe the clinical characteristics of affected patients. METHODS: A histopathology database for a population of 1 million people was searched for all esophageal mucosal biopsy results over an 8-year period. Cases showing inflammation or abnormalities without a diagnosis after three or more biopsies were reviewed for findings of LP. RESULTS: Of 13,589 esophageal biopsies, only one received a diagnosis of LP. Seven patients (four male; mean age, 59 years; range, 39 to 76 years) were identified as having chronic dysphagia and nonspecific proximal esophagitis for which no diagnosis could be made. All patients had proximal inflammation, and six of seven had full-thickness lymphocytic infiltration. Elongation of the lamina propria papillae was noted in all patients, whereas six patients had parakeratosis and ballooning. Only one patient had findings potentially consistent with, but not sufficient for, a diagnosis of esophageal LP. CONCLUSIONS: Esophageal LP appears to be extremely uncommon in this North American population, and esophageal biopsy alone is likely not sufficient to establish a diagnosis of LP.

RESUMO

La paraqueratosis granulosa es una enfermedad cutánea benigna, de etiología poco clara. Se considera una alteración adquirida de la queratinización en la que persisten los gránulos de profilagrina en la capa córnea. Clínicamente se manifiesta con pápulas eritematosas o café parduscas con hiperqueratosis, las cuales pueden ser coalescentes,y formar placas con hiperpigmentación variable, ser de presentación unilateral o bilateral, localizadas en áreas intertriginosas con irritación crónica (región axilar, inframamaria, inguinal), en el área abdominal y lumbosacra, principalmente en los pliegues o zonas con oclusión. El prurito se encuentra asociado en forma variable. En el estudio histopatológico se ha demostrado papilomatosis y acantosis, con un estrato córneo paraqueratósico engrosado y numerosos gránulos basófilos en los corneocitos. La mayoría de reportes a nivel mundial han sido de casos en adultos y pocos reportes en niños, por lo que se presenta un caso de paraqueratosis granulosa en un niño colombiano y se hace una revisión del tema.
