Dermoscopy of a rare case of linear syringocystadenoma papilliferum with review of the literature.

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is a benign hamartomatous tumor arising from pluripotent cells with either apocrine or eccrine differentiation. We report a rare case of de novo linear SCAP in a 12-year-old female child with lesions over the chest along with the dermoscopic findings.

Disseminated cutaneous fusariosis in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient and dramatic response with oral itraconazole.

Fusarium species are known to cause disseminated cutaneous lesions in immunocompromised patients. Some cases of fusariosis are reported in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. There are two reports in such patients with systemic comorbidities like lymphoma, neutropenia and infective port-a-catheter. Another reported patient had systemic fusariosis, without skin involvement. Diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous fusariosis is difficult and resistance to antifungals is a problem. Our patient was at an advanced human immunodeficiency virus infection stage with disseminated cutaneous fusariosis, without any systemic involvement, who responded completely to oral itraconazole.
