Common Skin

<p>There are several subtypes of necrotizing leukocytoclastic vasculitis, which are classified according to their morphological features in biopsy specimens using immunofluorescence microscopy. Necrotizing leukocytoclastic vasculitis is limited to the skin, predominantly that of the lower extremities, and usually spares the palms and soles. The most common skin manifestation is palpable purpura. Other skin manifestations include maculopapular rash, bullae, papules, nodules, ulcers and livedo reticularis. There is no specific laboratory test to determine the diagnosis. There are various diseases presenting with these nonspecific symptoms, and a rapid differential diagnosis must be conducted, because the appropriate differentiation and diagnosis markedly influence the treatment strategy and survival of patients. In this study, we report a case of necrotizing leukocytoclastic vasculitis<strong> </strong>presenting with internal organ involvement and symptoms of necrotizing fasciitis, with emphasis on the clinical differentiation.</p>

Background: Wolf's isotopic response is the phenomenon of a new skin disease occurring at the site of another unrelated and already healed skin disorder. Most cases in the literature report herpes zoster (HZ) as the original disease; however, the isotopic responses vary greatly. Including this case, our literature search revealed 32 cases of isotopic granuloma annulare (GA) following HZ. Case Report: An 82-year-old male presented with GA localized to the right T9 dermatome that later appeared at other sites on the trunk and extremities. The patient had an episode of shingles involving the same dermatome 4 years earlier. Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first case report of GA occurring initially as an isotopic response in an HZ scar and subsequently becoming generalized. Thirty-eight percent (12 of 32) of patients with isotopic GA following HZ were immunocompromised, which is similar to the published rate of immunodeficiency in patients with HZ.

ABSTRACT Cutaneous infestation by the human botfly, Dermatobia hominis, results in furuncular myiasis. This condition is endemic to the forested areas of Mexico, Central and South America. However, because of widespread travel, furuncular myiasis has become more common in North America. Misdiagnosis and mismanagement can occur owing to limited awareness of the condition outside endemic areas. To our knowledge, there is only a single report of botfly myiasis in the recent emergency medicine literature, which is surprising since the emergency department is likely to be the place many patients with this condition first seek attention. We present and discuss the case of a 50-year-old man with furuncular myiasis acquired in Belize. Parasitic infestation should be included in the differential diagnosis of a new skin lesion in patients who have travelled to endemic areas.

Palmoplantar Hyperkeratosis

Abstract Background Palmoplantar hyperkeratosis is a cutaneous manifestation that had not been clearly associated with infection by the human T-cell lymphotropic virus, which is a retrovirus that in most cases does not develop clinical pathologies and its symptoms may be undetected. The skin is one of the most affected organs, however until now only seborrheic dermatitis, xerosis/ichthyosis and infective dermatitis associated with HTLV-1 have been described as cutaneous clinical manifestations of this disease. Case presentation We present the case of a 36-year-old male patient with serologically documented HTLV-1 infection, who presented symptoms of diarrhea, malabsorption due to Strongyloides stercoralis, and in whom a physical examination revealed an association with generalized xerosis and palmoplantar keratoderma confirmed by skin biopsy. Other infectious etiologies and malignancy were ruled out. This clinical manifestation was managed with dermal hydration, and skin care which improved the thickened skin and make it less noticeable. Conclusions According to our experience, this is the first reported case of palmoplantar keratoderma associated with a human lymphotropic virus infection. This is a skin manifestation that has not been confirmed in conjunction with HTLV-I before. This implies that palmoplantar keratoderma is a new clinical manifestation of this infection, that should be considered in the initial approach of patients in endemic areas with these dermatological characteristics.

Rare Case Report

Ecthyma gangrenosum is a skin manifestation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in immunocompromised individuals. Here we report a case of a 64-year-old diabetic female with Ecthyma gangrenosum lesions on both lower limbs, admitted for surgical debridement. Pus culture taken during surgery showed growth of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The patient was started on appropriate antibiotics with reasonable glycemic control using parenteral insulin. The patient responded well to the above treatment and was discharged.

Erythema Multiforme (EM) is a hypersensitivity reaction that can be triggered by an infection or particular medications. Erythema multiforme minor (EM minor) represents localized skin lesions with minimal or no mucosal involvement. Only a few case of EM associated with risperidone are found in the scientific literature. In this case report, the administration of the risperidone resulted in the rapid appearance of skin lesions. Erythematous lesions were recovered upon discontinuation of the drug and no new skin lesion was observed. A 52-year-old male patient was admitted to the psychiatry hospital because of developing schizophrenic symptoms. At the time of admission, risperidone was added to her previous drug regimen. Two weeks later, the patient returned with a complaint of progressively increasing rashes over his body. The patient was diagnosed with EM minor. The prescribed risperidone was discontinued due to its side-effect profile and the patient’s drug regimen was changed entirely to the olanzapine, haloperidol, and topical clobetasol. At one month follow up visit, his skin lesions were satisfactorily controlled.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Osteosarcoma is an aggressive malignant primary bone tumor with common metastases to lungs via hematogenous spread. Other common sites of metastasis include bone and kidneys. Metastasis (excluding extraskeletal) to the skin is extremely rare. To date, roughly 12 cases of cutaneous metastasis have been reported in the literature. Methods/Case Report We report a 44-year-old female patient with a history of osteosarcoma of proximal tibia who underwent wide local excision in 2018 and subsequent chemotherapy. Approximately 2 years after her initial diagnosis, she presented with a painful mass in the left mid-thigh. Imaging studies revealed a 1.7 cm calcified nodule suspicious for metastatic osteosarcoma or a partially calcified granuloma. Fat necrosis and old hematoma were also considered in the radiographic differential, although less likely. An excisional biopsy was performed, which showed a high grade osteoid-producing tumor involving the deep dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue confirming a metastasis of osteosarcoma. A new skin nodule developed at the same site six months later; though radiographic imaging studies were suggestive of subcutaneous fat stranding in the setting of cellulitis or vascular insufficiency. Given her prior history, another excisional biopsy was performed, which showed recurrent metastatic osteosarcoma. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) NA Conclusion Metastatic osteosarcoma to the skin is a rarely reported event in the literature. The prior clinical history and high index of clinical suspicion are essential in rendering the correct diagnosis. As the skin may be the first site of metastases it is important to include metastatic osteosarcoma in the differential in patients with a prior history of osteosarcoma who develops new skin or subcutaneous lesions. This case highlights the importance of providing history to the pathologist, as other tumors and non-neoplastic lesions can mimic osteosarcoma, particularly in small biopsy specimens. The easier access to the skin/ subcutis could also aid in obtaining tissue for molecular testing.
