Trichoepitheliomas (TE) are benign skin tumours of the pilosebaceous apocrine unit with follicular differentiation. Multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT) is a considerably rare condition inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. We present a case of a 15-year-old male who presented with multiple papulo-nodular lesions in the central face and a family history of a similar type of lesions from his mother. Significance of consideration of various clinical differential diagnoses with serious pathological outcomes, strategies followed in the diagnosis including histopathological evaluation aided by immunohistochemical investigations, and subsequent challenges that may be faced in the management of MFT in light of the presentation with multiple facial papules are documented in this case report.

Von Recklinghausen’S Neurofibromatosis

Abstract Intracranial gliomas are found in association with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. However, few truly neonatal lesions have been identified and studied. This case report concerns a 4-month-old child who was found to have a massive thalamic glioma of moderate grade. Four paternal generations had suffered from different manifestations of this transmissible autosomal-dominant (Ad) phakomatosis.

Congenital Acromial or Shoulder dimples are cutaneous depressions overlying the acromial process of the scapula. They are usually bilateral and symmetrical. Isolated biacromial dimples are usually benign and warrant no further investigations. Family history in an autosomal dominant pattern, as in our case, is frequently obtainable but the majority of isolated bilateral shoulder dimples are sporadic. There are few reports of syndromic associations as well as two cases of associated maternal cocaine abuse. Our case is a term female neonate who was noted on routine new-born check to have bilateral symmetrical shoulder dimples. She was otherwise healthy, had normal range of shoulder movements and was not dysmorphic. On further assessment it transpired the father has the same bilateral shoulder dimples but was not aware of their existence. No further investigations were carried out. This case add to the few reported cases of Biacromial Dimples with autosomal pattern of inheritance in an otherwise normal baby

<p class="abstract">Trichoepithelioma is a rare benign adnexal tumor that differentiates towards the folliculo-sebaceous-apocrine unit (trichoblast). It may present as solitary non-familial lesion or multiple lesions as a part of autosomal dominant inherited syndrome known as multiple familial Trichoepithelioma. Multiple familial trichoepithelioma is a relatively rare, disfiguring, benign adnexal neoplasm diagnosed by centrofacial distribution of papules and nodules, positive family history, related histopathological findings and can rarely undergo malignant transformation. Treatment is mainly for cosmetic concern. Here we report a case who presented with multiple skin coloured facial papules and nodules, with a history of similar lesions in other family members. Dermoscopy and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of trichoepitheliomas.</p>

Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) and hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) are rare autosomal dominant diseases, where symptoms manifest at childhood. A 32-year-old man with no family history of JPS or HHT with SMAD4 gene mutation who developed signs and symptoms only at the age of 32, when he was an adult. In this article, we highlight the steps taken to diagnose this rare pathology, explain its pathophysiology and management.

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

Uncommon Condition

Congenital bilateral humeroradial synostosis (HRS) is a rare condition. It is generally divided into 2 categories. In the first group, which is mainly sporadic, additional upper limb hypoplasia typically coexists. In the second group, which is classically familial, HRS is commonly an isolated upper extremity anomaly. HRS can lead to variable degrees of functional disability. The clinical case reported here illustrates a possibly avoidable presentation of this uncommon condition. In this case report, we present a 6-week-old male who presented with bilateral radius fractures. Radiography revealed congenital HRS at both elbows. No other associated congenital abnormalities were detected, and there was no family history of similar conditions in any first-degree relatives. In cases of congenital HRS, movement at the elbow joint is not possible. Parents who are unaware of this information might try to straighten their infant’s elbows, which in turn may result in fractures of the proximal radius. Hence, early diagnosis and proper parental education could prevent fractures as a sequela of HRS.

Abstract We report a case of gallbladder paraganglioma that was discovered during nonrelated surgery. Retrospective study disclosed a family history of pheochromocytoma. The occurrence of gallbladder paraganglioma in the presence of family history of endocrine neoplasia supports that gallbladder paraganglioma may indeed occur as a part of the multiple endocrine neoplasm syndrome. Gallbladder paraganglioma is a rare tumor, and so far to our knowledge only 6 cases have been reported in the literature. Three cases were discovered incidentally during cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, 2 presented with right upper quadrant pain, and 1 manifested with gastrointestinal bleeding. We herein review all reported cases of paraganglioma of gallbladder and biliary system.

Genetic Anomaly

Aniridia syndrome is a genetic anomaly affecting all ocular structures; it is transmitted by an autosomal dominant mode. In its isolated form aniridia is characterized by a hypoplasia of the iris frequently associated with other ocular anomalies. It the syndromic form it is associated to other systemic abnormalities. Authors are here reporting a case of aniridia associating: a corneal pannus, total aniridia, lens ectopia, and cataract found in a 14 years old girl. She also presented an atopic background with a positive family history of atopia. She is issued from a first degree consanguineous marriage. The management was multidisciplinary. In ophthalmology she underwent an intra-capsular extraction of the lens in both eyes with no intra-ocular lens implantation. Dermatological management was treatment of cuteanous lesions with emollients, corticoids and antihistamines drugs and ointments.
