Van Lohuizen Syndrome, a Late-Diagnosed Case in an 18 Years-Old Female

Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita is a very rare birth defect involving cutaneous blood vessels. Of unknown cause, uncertain pathophysiology, unclear epidemiology. Described as a localized, or generalized marbled skin appearance (cutis marmarota), in addition to the skin, it may involve any other body organs, with, or without a wide variety of associated congenital anomalies.Kato van Lohuizen described the first case in 1922. Since then, there have been less than 300 cases reported worldwide to date. We are adding one more case, and the first reported in Libya.

Abstract Background: Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma (HMH) is an uncommon benign tumor in children. While mesenchymal hamartomas may be angiomatous and blood vessels may be identified, HMH with a malignant tumor symptom on the contrast-enhanced hepatic computed tomography angiography (CTA) has not been described. Here, we present the first case of HMH mimicking hepatoblastoma on the hepatic CTA from pathological point of view and review the imaging and histological features of this unique lesion. Case presentation: A 2-year-old female child was found a distention in the right abdomen and was admitted to our hospital. The Hepatic CTA showed that the blood vessels were thickened, the tumor blood vessels were clustered in the tumor. According to the hepatic CT findings, the tumor was considered to be malignant, possibly a hepatoblastoma. Microscopic examination showed a tumor arranged in lobules, composed of loose myxoid mesenchyme surrounding ductal structures, with intervening vascular channels. The Immunohistochemical staining revealed positive CK7 and CD34 for the bile duct elements and the lining endothelial cells of the vascular channels. There were abundant blood vessels around the nodules and the margins of remaining hepatocytes, but few in the central region. The blood vessels are small, thin-walled vessels and presented like capillaries and venules. Conclusions: A histological diagnosis of Hepatic Mesenchymal Hamartoma was confirmed by the microscopic examinations. This case adds learning points to radiologists when heterogeneous reinforcement on enhanced CT scan was presented in such a large childhood liver tumor.

Dermal Papillae

Background: Angioma serpiginosum (AS) is a rare vascular abnormality consisting of proliferation and dilation of superficial blood vessels in the skin. AS typically presents in the first 2 decades of life and remains stable with time. Case Summary: We report the case of a 13-year-old female with an acquired, recurrent erythematous lesion with serpiginous borders on her left upper arm. Over several years, the lesion reappeared then disappeared 12 to 15 times. At one point, she developed a tender red nodule within the lesion; consequently, a biopsy was taken, revealing dilated telangiectatic vessels in the dermal papillae with mild, focal extravasation of erythrocytes. Conclusion: This case demonstrates a lesion with suggestive clinical and histological features of AS. However, this may be the first case of recurrent AS with a symptomatic episode. This case may contribute to the expanding clinical spectrum of this interesting disease entity.
