Diagnostic Difficulties

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis, which progresses by relapses-remissions, of a multifactorial etiology which involves genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. Skin lesions are mainly localized in areas of friction: elbows, knees, pre-tibial, lumbosacral regions, scalp, and nails. Although the appearance of the skin lesions is sufficient for a diagnosis, diagnostic difficulties may be found in case of unusual topography. We report a case of a 45-year-old female patient with psoriatic cheilitis with a review of the literature.

The Face

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei is a rare sporadic condition of unknown etiology characterized by reddish-brownish patches and follicular papules that appear commonly on the face and rarely on the neck. Herein, we report a 16-year-old male who had asymptomatic facial skin lesions since early childhood. His family history revealed a similar case in his younger brother. His parents are not consanguineous. Skin examination revealed diffuse nonscaly brownish patches with erythematous background and multiple skin-colored, hypopigmented follicular papules on both cheeks. A summary of previous reports of erythromelanosis follicularis faciei in the literature is presented in this report.

Ongoing Surveillance

Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1)—also commonly known as Von Recklinghausen’s disease—is an autosomal dominant disease that represents a constellation of clinical features. There are well-established links between NF-1 and many tumors; however, the link between NF-1 and breast cancer has more recently been elucidated. While the management of breast cancer is generally well established, there are unique challenges noted in patients with NF-1. There may be delayed presentations due to difficulty in differentiating underlying neurofibroma from a sinister breast mass. Additionally, multiple skin lesions seen in NF-1 create challenges in the interpretation of mammography. Furthermore, a surgical conundrum is created, as these patients appear to have a higher risk of angiosarcoma following radiotherapy. A mastectomy may be the best option as it obviates the need for radiation therapy and ongoing surveillance. A case exemplifying these dilemmas and a review of the literature are presented.
