Necrotizing Granulomatous Papular Reaction Following Multiple Pulsed Dye Laser and Hybrid Fractional Laser Treatments for Rosacea.

This is a case report of a single patient who had pulsed dye laser and hybrid fractional laser treatments for facial rosacea and subsequently developed a prolonged papular reaction in and adjacent to the area of treatment, which was unresponsive to topical therapy. Biopsies of these lesions revealed necrotizing granulomas. This is a previously unreported side effect of these laser treatments and clinicians should be aware of this potential sequela.

A case of acquired Brown syndrome treated with adalimumab.

We present the case of a 4-year-old boy with acquired Brown syndrome of inflammatory origin. Without evidence of systemic inflammation, the disease typically resolves with oral steroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Refractory cases can be treated with local steroid injections or surgery. The present case of inflammatory Brown syndrome did not respond to conservative therapy, and parental concerns and wishes precluded more invasive treatments. Adalimumab was initiated and led to complete resolution of the disease.
