ABSTRACT
Considering the rarity and underdiagnoses of this disorder, a pigmented and hyperkeratotic skin lesion located on the trunk, resembling to acanthosis nigricans should always be investigated for terra firma-forme dermatosis (TFFD) and thus alcohol must be applied. TFFD should be known among dermatologists and can be easily diagnosed and treated with isopropyl alcohol.
ABSTRACT
Muco-cutaneous melanosis is a benign entity with no progression. Although, dermoscopic features may help to differentiate melanosis from malignant pigmented diseases, histopathology remains crucial for the confirming of melanosis of the nipple and areola. Herein, we represent a new case of melanosis of the areola and we describe its clinico-pathological aspects.
ABSTRACT
Considering the clinical polymorphism of the disease, longstanding skin lesions located on the face, resembling erysipelas in an endemic area should always be investigated for CL and thus, atypical presentations should be kept in mind.
ABSTRACT
Acquired lymphangiectasia (AL) represents superficial lymphatic dilatation caused by different processes. It is a consequence of lymphatic damage by an external cause; leading to obstruction of local lymphatic drainage.1 We report a case of AL of the breast in a 45-year-old woman mimicking warts.
ABSTRACT
Panniculitis has various etiologies. One of the less common causes is trauma and hence traumatic fat necrosis (FN). These soft tissue injuries usually appear on the shins, thighs, breasts, arms, and buttocks. FN is mainly caused by trauma and may be associated with other conditions such as pancreatic disease. FN arising after intramuscular injections is uncommon and usually appears as firm, encapsulated, mobile, nontender, and solitary or multiple subcutaneous nodules. We report an interesting case of FN caused by intramuscular injections of cefazolin and meglumine antimoniate (MA) in a 38-year-old female patient. MA is regarded as the first-line systemic treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). However, these drugs are not devoid of various potentially adverse reactions.
