1/85. granuloma gluteale infantum: a case report.granuloma gluteale infantum is a benign disorder with the clinical appearance of "granulomatous" nodules involving the diaper area. It is an uncommon disorder considered a complication of primary irritant diaper dermatitis. A 6-month-old boy with reddish-purple oval nodules located on the right inguinal fold and right buttock diagnosed as granuloma gluteale infantum is presented. A contributing factor in our patient could be a primary irritant dermatitis or a preexisting candidial infection. The name granuloma gluteale infantum is a misnomer since no granulomas are found in these lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/85. Ga-67 uptake in cutaneous lesions of graft-versus-host disease.Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) usually involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. A 47-year-old woman with fever of unknown origin was referred for a Ga-67 scan. The study showed diffuse uptake of Ga-67 throughout the skin. Subsequently, a skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of acute GVHD. The incidence, diagnosis, and pathophysiology of the dermatitis in acute GVHD are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/85. Dermopathic changes in hypozincemia.In seven patients with chronic debilitating gastrointestinal disease who were being given total parenteral nutrition using L-amino acids and concentrated dextrose solution, severe hypozincemia (less than 60 micrograms/dL) developed with characteristic skin lesions and alopecia. The lesions were similar to seborrheic dermatitis, and they occurred in areas of high sebaceous gland concentration. Hyperkeratotic lesions were also seen on the extensor surfaces of large joints. The skin lesions and alopecia disappeared when serum zinc values were raised to levels above 60 micrograms/dL, with appropriate zinc sulfate replacement. A hypothesis on the etiology and clinical manifestations is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/85. Persistent peripheral eosinophilia and cutaneous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: a case report and review of the literature.Peripheral eosinophilia can be the presenting sign in many cutaneous diseases but is often missed as a marker of a serious undiagnosed underlying disease such as atopic dermatitis, urticaria, drug eruption, bullous pemphigoid, inflammatory bowel disease, helminthic infection, churg-strauss syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, or lymphoma. We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting as persistent eosinophilia with a diffuse nodular cutaneous eruption.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/85. Hemilateral distribution of papular lesions on the buttock histologically resembling granuloma gluteale infantum.Two Japanese girls had small grouped papules on the buttocks without diaper dermatitis or bacterial or fungal infection. These granulomas spontaneously regressed over two weeks, even though oral antibiotics were administered. We discuss this variant of granuloma gluteale infantum of Tappeiner et al.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/85. Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with cutaneous cords and arthritis: a disorder associated with autoantibodies.Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis is a new entity characterized by linear or arciform subcutaneous cords. We describe a patient presenting with typical cutaneous lesions extending from the anterior and posterior part of the axillae to the flank. The lesions had been present for 6 years with flares and remission. Histopathologic examination revealed a bandlike infiltrate of histiocytes in the reticular dermis with focal areas of palisading around necrotic collagen bundles. A few atypical histiocytes were also present. As previously described, it was associated with serologic findings of an autoimmune disease, especially high titers of anti-dna antibodies. The possible inclusion of the interstitial granulomatous dermatitis in the continuous spectrum of the palisaded neutrophilic and granulomatous dermatitis of immune complex disease is also discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/85. Unilateral, circumscribed, chronic dermatitis of the papillary-areolar complex: case report and review of the literature.Lichen simplex chronicus is a well-described, common pruritic disorder resulting from repeated rubbing and scratching. Typically, only one site is involved. When this site involves the papillary-areolar complex of one breast, the condition is termed unilateral, circumscribed, chronic dermatitis of the papillary-areolar complex. A patient with this uncommon condition is herein reported, and the literature, including a discussion of the differential diagnosis, is reviewed. An aggressive approach to the work-up of such a patient is recommended, to ensure accurate diagnosis and initiation of appropriate therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/85. Granulomatous and suppurative dermatitis at interferon alfa injection sites: report of 2 cases.It has previously been reported that interferon alfa injection sites may develop pyoderma gangrenosum, interface dermatitis, vasculitis, or, more commonly, ulcers characterized by intravascular thrombi and a mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate. We describe 2 patients in whom granulomatous and suppurative dermatitis developed at interferon alfa injection sites. These cases extend the spectrum of interferon alfa injection site reactions. The histologic and clinical similarities of these cases with pyoderma gangrenosum and cutaneous Crohn's disease are explored.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/85. Use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in the treatment of dermatologic disorders.BACKGROUND: The use of psychological therapies in dermatology is being increasingly recognized because stress and negative emotions are major factors in a wide range of dermatologic disorders. eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a relatively new psychological intervention which was first described to be effective in post-traumatic stress disorder, a condition associated with extremely stressful life situations. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the efficacy of EMDR in primary dermatologic disorders where psychological stress plays an important part in the pathogenesis of the disorder, and in clinical situations where the dermatologic symptom is the feature of a stress-related psychiatric disorder. methods: Four patients (two patients with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, respectively, whose symptoms were exacerbated by stress, one patient with acne excoriee associated with body image pathology as a result of childhood emotional abuse, and one patient with generalized urticaria associated with post-traumatic stress disorder) were treated using the standard EMDR protocol with 3-6 sessions for a period ranging from 4 to 12 weeks, and followed up for 6-12 months after the end of EMDR therapy. RESULTS: All 4 patients experienced a marked improvement in their symptoms after 3-6 sessions of EMDR, within a period of- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
