Pilomatricoma is a benign tumor arising from hair follicle matrix cells, presenting as an asymptomatic, firm, slow growing, mobile, superficial skin nodule typically in children. This lesion with an atypical clinical presentation is frequently misdiagnosed as other skin lesions and even as malignant entities regardless of detailed cytological, imaging examinations; the site of occurrence is one of the keys to accurate diagnosis. Here, we present a case of pilomatrixoma involving the ear, the cymba conchae of the auricle, which is an extremely rare site for the lesion in a 52-year-old woman. The present case suggests that this benign tumor needs to be included in the differential diagnosis in patients who present with an atypical auricular lesion.

Dermoid cysts are benign lesions that grow slowly and can occur anywhere in the body. Clitoris is an extremely rare site for dermoids cysts. We present a case of inclusion cyst of clitoris in a middle aged woman, who had it for 10 years before presenting for relief from her symptoms. Local examination revealed a 3 cm X 4 cm size cystic mass at the clitoris giving it an appearance of clitoromegaly. She underwent an excision of the cyst at our hospital with the histopathology report suggesting the lesion to be a dermoid cyst. Postoperative recovery was uneventful with no evidence of recurrence on follow up.

New Skin

Cytotoxic lymphomas comprise a spectrum of peripheral T-cell lymphomas that can have a initial or late cutaneous presentation. We describe a 46-year-old man from Cape Verde, with a dermatosis involving his face and trunk, consisting of monomorphic papules with a smooth surface and both motor and sensory polyneuropathy.The hypothesis of leprosy was supported by the clinical and initial hystopathological findings and the patient was referred to our hospital with suspected Hansen's disease. In the new skin and lymph node biopsies a lymphocyte population was identified whose immunohystochemistry study allowed the diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma with expression of cytotoxic markers. The patient was started on chemotherapy with initial remission of the skin lesions but, subsequently, progression of systemic disease.

Eosinophilic Pleural Effusion

A previously healthy middle-aged woman presented with evanescent skin lesions and bilateral pleural effusions with an eosinophilic predominance. Following this case summary, a description of eosinophilic pleuritis, the epidemiology, etiologic considerations, and selected therapies for this syndrome are discussed. Eosinophilic pleural effusion is caused by myriad etiologies and is a therapeutic challenge. Keywords: pleural effusion, eosinophilic effusion, dermatitis

Generalized pustular psoriasis and subcorneal pustular dermatosis are generalized pustular dermatoses that are characterized by the subcorneal accumulation of neutrophils. Careful examination is important in distinguishing these diseases for appropriate management. Patients with acute generalized pustular psoriasis are systemically unwell with discrete pustules as opposed to the chronicity and associated hypopyon lesions in subcorneal pustular dermatosis. Generalized pustular psoriasis lesions demonstrate psoriasiform changes on histology and the increased expression of Th17 cytokines. We describe a middle-aged woman presenting with chronic annular generalized pustular psoriasis, initially mistaken for subcorneal pustular dermatosis due to their clinical and histological semblance. The patient had recurrent skin disease for 6 years despite conventional therapy of oral retinoid, immunosuppressant and biologic therapy. Complete and persistent clearance of her skin lesions was achieved with secukinumab, an interleukin 17A inhibitor.

Cutaneous Mycosis

Chromoblastomycosis is primarily a cutaneous mycosis caused by demetiaceous fungi. Microscopic examination with findings of muriform bodies are pathognomonic for the diagnosis of Chromoblastomycosis and if not specifically looked for, there is a chance of missing the diagnosis leading to improper treatment and complications. Here we report 2 cases, one of a middle aged woman, the other of an elderly man presenting with lower limb skin lesions histopathologically diagnosed as chromoblastomycosis.
