  • Idiopathic Spiny Keratoderma: a Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
    Idiopathic Spiny Keratoderma: A Report of Two Cases and Literature Review Jessica Schweitzer, DO,* Matthew Koehler, DO,** David Horowitz, DO*** *Intern, Largo Medical Center, Largo, FL **Dermatology Resident, Third Year, College Medical Center/Western University, Long Beach, CA ***Dermatology Residency Program Director, College Medical Center/Western University, Long Beach, CA Abstract Spiny keratoderma is a rare and likely underreported condition that presents with punctate hyperkeratotic growths localized to the palms and soles. We present two cases of clinically diagnosed spiny keratoderma. Although the lesions were asymptomatic, patients are at risk of an underlying internal malignancy with this condition, so diagnosis is crucial. Neither men were seeking treatment for the lesions when they were discovered, suggesting that this condition may be much more common than reported. Patients with histories of manual labor, increased UV exposure, and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) may also be at higher risk for developing spiny keratoderma.1 The epidemiology, histopathologic features, differential diagnosis, and current treatments for spiny keratoderma are reviewed. Introduction Case 2 enthusiast for his entire life, spending significant Spiny keratoderma is a rare palmoplantar A 67-year-old Caucasian male presented with a time using his hands to maintain and fire his keratoderma that presents with keratotic, pinpoint one-year history of insidiously growing, pinpoint weapons and many hours outside without sun papules on the palms and soles. There are both hyperkeratotic papules projecting from his palms protection. The patient was referred back to his hereditary and acquired forms. When found, bilaterally (Figures 4-5). He presented to the clinic primary care physician for internal evaluation.

  • Dissecting Cellulitis
    Patient Information Leaflet Dr Paul Farrant FRCP Consultant Dermatologist Janet Dix (Secretary to Dr Paul Farrant) Tel 01444 412273 Fax 01444 657397 Email [email protected] Web drpaulfarrant.co.uk Dissecting Cellulitis What is dissecting cellulitis? Dissecting cellulitis is a type of scarring hair loss that presents with pustules, boggy swellings, and sinuses within the scalp. What causes dissecting cellulitis? The cause of dissecting cellulitis is not known. It is associated with severe cystic acne known as acne conglobata, and hidradenitis suppurativa, which causes cystic swellings in the armpits and groin. In all of these conditions the hair follicle becomes blocked, dilates and ruptures. This causes an inflammatory response in the skin, which leads to pus formation, swellings and sinus formation. It is not uncommon for bacteria to be isolated from the skin but this is likely to be secondary to the inflammatory process. Is dissecting cellulitis inherited? Dissecting cellulitis is most commonly seen in Afro-Caribbean men but the racial predilection is more likely to be due to the shape and structural differences of Afro-Caribbean hair than a genetic predisposition to the condition. Hair care practices, such as clipping, may also play a role. It is not thought to be an inherited condition. What are the symptoms? Patients with dissecting cellulitis often complain of pain, tenderness and fluid discharge from the affected area. It is associated with hair loss. What does dissecting cellulitis look like? Dissecting Cellulitis is characterised by a localised area of hair loss, pustules, boggy swellings and sinus formation. Gentle pressure on the boggy areas may lead to expression of pus or serous fluid.

  • Palmoplantar Keratoderma with Progressive Gingivitis and Recurrent Pyodermas
    Palmoplantar Keratoderma With Progressive Gingivitis and Recurrent Pyodermas Tyler A. Moss, DO; Anne P. Spillane, MD; Sam F. Almquist, MD; Patrick E. McCleskey, MD; Oliver J. Wisco, DO Practice Points Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal-recessive inherited transgredient palmoplantar kerato- derma (PPK) that is associated with gingivitis and recurrent pyodermas. The symptoms associated with PLS are thought to be due to cathepsin C gene, CTSC, mutations. CTSC is expressed in epithelial regions commonly affected by PLS and also plays a role in the activation of immune and inflammatory responses. Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome must be differentiated from other conditions causing PPK, such as Haim-Munk syndrome, Greither syndrome, mal de Meleda, Clouston syndrome, Vohwinkel syndrome, and Olmsted syndrome. Treatment of PLS includesCUTIS keratolytics such as urea and/or salicylic acid comb ined with oral retinoids. Active gingivitis may be treated with combined use of amoxicillin and metronidazole.

We aimed to investigate whether cutaneous features are common in SMS. We performed a complete skin examination in 20 young SMS patients. Skin features secondary to self-injurious behavior, such as bites, abrasions, dystrophic scars, limited spots of hyperkeratosis, anomalies of the nails, and whitlows, were found in the majority of patients. Acral pachydermia and fissured plantar keratoderma were common. Xerosis was constant and associated with extensive keratosis pilaris in the majority of patients. Dermatofibromas were frequent in older patients. The hair was dense and shiny, with an unusual hairline. Eyelash trichomegaly and heavy brows were common, as well as folliculitis on the back. The skin features of SMS have rarely been reported in the literature. Some of these are the consequence of neurobehavioral features, but some cutaneous features and abnormalities of appendages have not been reported in other related syndromes.

    Spiny Keratoderma Thomas N. Helm, MD, Williamsville, New York Jennifer Lee, Williamsville, New York Klaus F. Helm, MD, Hershey, Pennsylvania Spiny keratoderma is a descriptive term used to encompass a variety of unusual, disparate kerato- dermas. Spiny keratoderma has been associated with lipid abnormalities and has been limited to the palms and soles in some individuals. We describe an acquired case of spiny keratoderma in which an adult woman developed filiform lesions predomi- nating on the trunk and proximal extremities. Treat- ment with topical emollients and keratolytic agents was unsuccessful, but topical tazarotene led to long periods of resolution. She has had no other associated abnormalities. The clinical features and differential diagnosis of spiny keratoderma are reviewed. FIGURE 1.

  • Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus
    J Am Board Fam Med: first published as 10.3122/jabfm.2009.02.080075 on 5 March 2009. Downloaded from BRIEF REPORT Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus Suresh Panjwani, MD, MSc, FRACGP Discoid lupus erythematosus is a chronic dermatological disease that can lead to scarring, hair loss, and hyperpigmentation changes in skin if it is not treated early and promptly. It has a prolonged course and can have a considerable effect on quality of life. Early recognition and treatment improves the prog- nosis. The diagnosis is usually made by clinical examination. In some cases histopathology may be re- quired to confirm the diagnosis. The histology is that of an inflammatory interface dermatosis. There is insufficient evidence for which treatment is most effective. Because lesions are induced or exacerbated by ultraviolet exposure, photoprotective measures are important. Potent topical steroids and antima- larials are the mainstay of treatment. Some cases of discoid lupus erythematosus can be refractory to standard therapy; in these cases retinoids, thalidomide, and topical tacrolimus offer alternatives, as do immunosuppressives like azathioprine, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and methotrexate.
