Paraneoplastic Syndrome Presenting As Giant Porokeratosis in a Patient with Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Paraneoplastic Syndrome Presenting As Giant Porokeratosis in A Patient with Nasopharyngeal Cancer Fitri Azizah, Sonia Hanifati, Sri Adi Sularsito, Lili Legiawati, Shannaz Nadia Yusharyahya, Rahadi Rihatmadja Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia / Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital Keywords: porokeratosis, giant porokeratosis, paraneoplastic syndrome, nasopharyngeal Abstract: Giant porokeratosis is a rare condition in which the hyperkeratotic plaques of porokeratosis reach up to 20 cm in diameter. Porokeratosis is characterized clinically by hyperkeratotic papules or plaques with a thread-like elevated border. Although rare, porokeratosis has been reported in conjunction with malignancies suggesting a paraneoplastic nature. Associated malignancies reported were hematopoietic, hepatocellular, and cholangiocarcinoma. We report a case of giant porokeratosis in a patient with nasopharyngeal cancer responding to removal of the primary cancer by chemoradiotherapy. 1 INTRODUCTION regress completely after the treatment of malignancy, suggestive of paraneoplastic syndrome.

Clinical Practice Statements-Oral Contact Allergy
Clinical Practice Statements-Oral Contact Allergy Subject: Oral Contact Allergy The American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM) affirms that oral contact allergy (OCA) is an oral mucosal response that may be associated with materials and substances found in oral hygiene products, common food items, and topically applied agents. The AAOM also affirms that patients with suspected OCA should be referred to the appropriate dental and/or medical health care provider(s) for comprehensive evaluation and management of the condition. Replacement and/or substitution of dental materials should be considered only if (1) a reasonable temporal association has been established between the suspected triggering material and development of clinical signs and/or symptoms, (2) clinical examination supports an association between the suspected triggering material and objective clinical findings, and (3) diagnostic testing (e.g., dermatologic patch testing, skin-prick testing) confirms a hypersensitivity reaction to the suspected offending material. Originators: Dr. Eric T. Stoopler, DMD, FDS RCSEd, FDS RCSEng, Dr. Scott S. De Rossi, DMD. This Clinical Practice Statement was developed as an educational tool based on expert consensus of the American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM) leadership. Readers are encouraged to consider the recommendations in the context of their specific clinical situation, and consult, when appropriate, other sources of clinical, scientific, or regulatory information prior to making a treatment decision.

Perianal White Sponge Nevus in a Hispanic Female: a Case Study N Busen, M Tompkins

Perianal White Sponge Nevus In A Hispanic Female: A Case Study. The Internet Journal of Advanced Nursing Practice. 1999 Volume 4 Number 2. DOI: 10.5580/6c5 Abstract This article presents a case history of white sponge nevus (WSN) in the perianal area of a 23-year-old Hispanic female. WSN is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder that affects the noncornified stratified squamous epithelia. Clinically, the lesions are characterized by the presence of white, spongy plaques in the oral cavity. Extraoral lesions are found in other mucosal sites but are relatively uncommon in the absence of oral manifestations. Because WSN is rare, the differential diagnosis of this lesion may be difficult and the diagnosis is best made by a tissue biopsy performed in the context of a detailed patient and family history. The problems associated with differential diagnosis are addressed.

1: Oral Mucosa Diseases in Dogs: How Helpful Are The
Oral mucosal diseases in dogs: How helpful are the fundamentals of dermatopathology? Cynthia M. Bell, MS, DVM, Diplomate ACVP Associate Professor, Kansas State University Manhattan, KS, USA [email protected] The objective of this presentation is to provide a broad overview of stomatitis in dogs, including immune-mediated mucosal and mucocutaneous diseases. There is little emphasis on gingivitis since this condition is so often related to primary dental and periodontal disease. Particular attention is given to regionally extensive or generalized oral mucosal inflammation, with emphasis on distinguishing features that will help the pathologist formulate and rank a differential diagnosis. Oral mucosal diseases in dogs • Plaque-associated stomatitis/CUPS • Immune-mediated/autoimmune diseases o Skin diseases with oral involvement § Pemphigus vulgaris § Mucous membrane pemphigoid § Paraneoplastic pemphigoid § Erythema multiforme § Lupus erythematosus, mostly DLE o Chronic stomatitis • Mucosal drug eruption • Other infectious (Candidiasis, acute viral infection) • Other non-infectious causes (thermal or chemical burn, uremia) • Neoplasia (e.g. epitheliotropic T cell lymphoma) Plaque-associated stomatitis (aka. contact stomatitis, CUPS) The most singular form of stomatitis in dogs has, for the past ~20 years, been referred to as CUPS (canine ulcerative paradental stomatitis). As a disease entity, CUPS was conceived within the clinical setting; therefore, many pathologists may not be aware of or have only a casual familiarity with the syndrome. It is common for dogs to develop oral mucosal ulcerations (“kissing lesions”) at sites of contact—usually where the buccal mucosa and lateral lingual mucosa contacts the larger tooth surfaces (i.e. canine teeth and carnassial teeth). 1 This condition is thought to be an exaggerated immune-mediated inflammatory response to plaque on the tooth surface (“plaque intolerance”), therefore, “plaque associated stomatitis” is a term that is favored by many veterinarians, myself included. -
