Clinical Presentations of Secondary Aortoenteric Fistulae: Case Report and Literature Review

Background: Pink spots in teeth were first described by Mummery in 1920, and were related to resorption. Resorption is a pathologic process that often eludes the clinician with its varied etiologic factors and diverse clinical presentations. Resorption can be generally classified as internal and external resorption. Internal resorption has been described as a rare occurrence as compared to external resorption. Case report: This article describes a pink spot that was diagnosed as a progressing resorption process. Early diagnosis enabled a successful management of the lesion. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment of an internal resorption, clinically seen as a pink spot, in a primary central incisor may prevent its fast progress and subsequent loss.

Clinical Presentations

Lichen planopilaris is a rare inflammatory condition that is also known as follicular lichen planus. Although the condition commonly affects the scalp, it sometimes involves the other regions of the body with a variety of clinical presentations. The involvement beyond the scalp is considered to be a generalized nature of disease process. In this report, we present a case of generalized follicular lichen planus in a 34-year-old Thai female presenting with comedone-like lesions on the trunk and extremities as well as scarring alopecia on the scalp. Dermoscopic features were also discussed.

Primary Origin

Chondrosarcomas are tumors consisting of osseous or cartilaginous stroma. They are not an uncommon pathology; however, primary pulmonary chondrosarcomas arising in lung parenchyma are extremely rare, with few cases published in literature. Herein, we present a case with biopsy-proven primary pulmonary chondrosarcoma after exclusion of primary origin elsewhere. In the case presented in this report, we demonstrate the clinical presentations, pulmonary function tests, and the radiological findings of this rare tumor in a young male patient. Further, we present a brief review of existing literature for patients with similar pathology.

Mutation Type

Abstract Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare inherited disorder of keratinization characterized by hypertrophic nail dystrophy, painful palmoplantar blisters, cysts, follicular hyperkeratosis and oral leukokeratosis. These pathological clinical features are resulting from mutations in keratin proteins including KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT6C, KRT16, and KRT17. We present a 6-year-old girl with hypertrophic nail dystrophy, follicular hyperkeratosis, circumscribed plantar keratoderma and oral leukokeratosis. The features were consistent with the diagnosis of PC. The patient has been registered in the International Pachyonychia Congenita Research Registry (IPCRR) and is waiting for a detailed genetic analysis. The IPCRR has contributed to publication of numerous papers which emphasized the importance of the mutation type affecting various clinical presentations of PC. Based on recent data, a new classification system has been developed for PC, and it is gradually replacing the earlier classifications. It is based almost exclusively on the mutated genes. In this report we have raised the hypothesis that distinctive clinical features may be highly suggestive of a specific keratin mutation.
