Tufted angioma is an acquired vascular proliferation with specific histological characteristics. The most common clinical features are erythematous macules. It occurs predominantly in children and young adults, especially in the chest and neck. We report the case of a male patient, 12 years old, with an increased right ear auricle associated with erythematous macules and increased local temperature, referred with a diagnosis of lepromatous leprosy; however, this diagnosis was questioned. Histopathology was consistent with tufted angioma.

Background: This brief review considers major aspects of COVID toes as currently understood. Topics discussed include etiology, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, and management. Media characterization, potentially leading to intense public interest in COVID toes during the summer of 2020, is also discussed. Methods: The literature review was conducted by selecting articles from PUBMED, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and Google Scholar based on the relevance to our topic. To determine the relative search interest of the general population, a Google Trends analysis was queried on 11/17/20 for the retrospective duration of 11/17/2019–11/17/2020. Results: The majority of patients who have presented with COVID toes are children and young adults. COVID toes generally present as acro-ischemic lesions, which are microthrombotic events in the extremities, leading to symptoms such as pseudo-chilblains or pernio-like lesions. Chilblains are histologically classified as an inflammatory disorder with a prominent perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate seen on microscopy. The regions are described as appearing erythematous to purple purpuric macules, papules, and/or vesicles. In many cases, COVID toes symptoms are self-limiting. Conclusion: The development of COVID toes represents an additional manifestation of COVID-19 that should lead to additional testing. Knowledge of these symptoms can give healthcare workers and the general public another tool for recognizing COVID-19. Keywords: COVID toes, COVID-19, coronavirus, chilblains, pernio

Abstract Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma is a neoplasm of intermediate biologic potential most often arising in the extremities of children and young adults. Its rarity may lead to misdiagnosis as either a reactive lesion or a benign or higher-grade tumor. Originally described as a type of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, its differentiation remains enigmatic, with precise histogenesis still only hypothesized. Its morphology is distinct, as a circumscribed lesion with sheets of bland spindle to ovoid cells, peripheral lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, and blood-filled cystic cavities, and half of the cases show strong desmin expression. Cytogenetically, 2 specific translocations, t(12:16)(q13:p11) and more recently t(12:22)(q13:q12), have been characterized. The literature on angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma is reviewed, particularly with regard to recent molecular genetic developments and differentiation, and its morphology, immunohistochemistry, and differential diagnosis are summarized.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an uncommon occurrence inMycoplasma pneumoniae(M. pneumoniae) infection (1–5%) and has been mainly reported in children and young adults. We present a case of SJS in a 32-year-old male induced byM. pneumoniaeinfection. This patient presented with fever, cough, and massive occupation of mucus membranes with swelling, erythema, and necrosis accompanied by a generalized cutaneous rash. He clinically responded after treatment with antibiotics and IVIG. SJS is usually a drug-induced condition; however,M. pneumoniaeis the commonest infectious cause and should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is a severe cardiac arrhythmogenic hereditary illness, which affects children and young adults with a structurally healthy heart. Its prevalence is of one case in 10 thousand inhabitants. It is a potentially fatal illness, part of the differential diagnosis of syncope in children. The present study has the purpose of relating the case of a child that, during the investigation of convulsive syncope, presented sudden death aborted due to CPVT and to describe the diagnosis difficulties of the case, comparing with data from the literature

Dengue fever has classically been described as a disease of children and young adults. Infants are naturally protected by virtue of maternally derived immunoglobulins, especially in endemic countries. The resurgence of dengue, coupled with the availability of early and sensitive diagnostic methods and a high degree of clinical suspicion, has led to an increasing number of infants being diagnosed. There is a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, particularly in infancy. Here we describe three cases presenting with diverse clinical features, their subsequent management and outcome.

The clinical and pathological findings in 13 cases of torsion of the hydatid testis are reviewed. The etiology of this condition can be correlated with the morphological characteristics of the hydatid present in children and young adults. Emergency exploration is mandatory because of the difficulty in differential diagnosis from torsion of the spermatic cord with gangrene of the testis.
