Lichen aureus is a rare variant of pigmented purpuric dermatosis, which often affects young adults and is localized mainly on the lower extremities. We present here a 31-year-old female who had a solitary golden-brown-color patch on her right leg for 1 year. Punch biopsy of the lesion revealed lymphohistiocytic band-like infiltrate of the papillary dermis with erythrocyte extravasation and hemosiderin deposits. The diagnosis of Lichen aureus was made based on clinicopathologic findings. The dermoscopic findings that support this diagnosis were brownish yellow diffuse coloration of the background, round to oval red dots, globules and patches and twisted red loops. Herein, we present the dermoscopic findings of a 31-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of lichen aureus established with clinical and histopathological features. Keywords: pigmented purpuric dermatosis, lichen aureus, dermoscopy

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) or calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor was first introduced in 1962 by Gorlin et al., as a possible oral counterpart of calcifying epitheliomas of Malherbe in skin. This lesion is a rare odontogenic lesion with variable clinico-histological characteristics. Three different histologic subtypes has been reported for COC. In this study we presented a female patient diagnosed with ameloblastomatous COC a very rare variant of this lesion and challenges regarding microscopic diagnosis and treatment of it is discussed.

Assessment of varicose vein and chronic venous insufficiency and making a differential diagnosis in patients suffering from a variety of sign and symptoms is sometimes a big challenge in daily clinical practice. Here, we present a female patient with varicose vein symptoms and ecchymosis on her lower extremities. Several irregular shaped ecchymotic lesions on both extremities in different stage of healing with deep purple have been treated by using micronized purified flavonoid fraction.

<p>Cutaneous lymphangiectasia of the genitalia represent dilatation of upper dermal lymphatic’s following damage to previously normal deep lymphatics, is an uncommon condition and only few cases have been reported following pulmonary tuberculosis. Here we are describing a case of 75 years old female patient, who came with multiple translucent papulovesicular lesions over the vulva, labia majora, minora and upper thigh from twelve year duration, with watery discharge since eight years. She had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis twenty years ago. The patient underwent punch biopsy of the lesion over the vulva and histopathological examination confirmed our diagnosis as lymphangiectasia of the vulva. She was managed conservatively with anti-tubercular drugs and got relief in watery discharge and skin lesions.</p>

Verrucous psoriasis is a rare variant of plaque-type psoriasis with only about 35 cases reported. The authors reported a man with a history of psoriasis vulgaris for seven years, presented with progressive verrucous hyperkeratotic plaques on both legs for three years. His earlier investigations favored the diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis. After completing the antituberculous therapy, the lesions persisted. The later investigations favored a rare subtype of psoriasis named verrucous psoriasis. Keywords: Verrucous psoriasis, Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Ixekixumab

The purpose of this article was to present a case report of 11–year old female patient with a large osteolytic mandibular lesion which healed after endodontic treatment. The patient was referred for radio diagnostics due to an incidental finding of a large osteolytic lesion of the area of the left lower first and second premolars in the panoramic radiograph taken before orthodontic treatment. CBCT was performed and the patient asked to have teeth 33-35 treated by endodontics before surgery. The patient missed the surgical appointment and when she reappeared several months later, the lesion showed signs of healing thus surgery were aborted. The presented case testifies to the observation that even large osteolytic lesions can heal after endodontic treatment without surgical approach.


Pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) is an atypical subtype of pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), which presents in children and young adults. The incidence of PMA is low, so there is no standardized treatment protocol for it. Here, we present a 62-year-old woman with recurrent PMA, which is important for the understanding and treatment of the disease.
