  • Clinicopathological Features of Annular Elastolytic Giant Cell
    Original Investigation / Özgün Araştırma Turk J Dermatol 2018;12:85-9 • DOI: 10.4274/tdd.3409 85 Hilal Kaya Clinicopathological Features of Annular Erdoğan, Deniz Arık*, Elastolytic Giant Cell Granuloma Patients Ersoy Acer, Evrim Yılmaz*, Anüler Elastolitik Dev Hücreli Granülom Zeynep Nurhan Hastalarının Klinikopatolojik Özellikleri Saraçoğlu Abstract Objective: Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare granulomatous disease characterized by annular plaques. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical and pathological features of the patients diagnosed with AEGCG. Methods: The demographic, clinical and pathological features of patients who diagnosed with AEGCG were recorded retrospectively. Results: Ten patients with AEGCG included in the study (nine females and one male). The mean age of the patients was 60±9.53 years. The mean duration of disease was 24.2±36.30 months. On dermatologic examination, multiple, well-demarcated, elevated borders and central atrophic erythematous annular plaques were seen in all patients. In the most of the patients (90%) lesions were on the sun-exposed regions. Six of the patients had accompanying diseases. Histopathologic examination of the punch biopsies revealed foreign body type multinucleated giant cells and lymphocytic cell infiltration in the dermis. There were intracellular elastic fiber fragments as sign of elastophagocytosis in the giant cells. Conclusion: AEGCG is a rare granulomatous disease which can accompany various diseases. There is debate on the terminology, classification and pathogenesis. Further studies are required to elucidate the unknowns.

  • Melanocytes and Their Diseases

Hearing2 1Medical, AbbVie GK, Mita, Tokyo 108-6302, Japan 2Laboratory of Cell Biology, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 Correspondence: [email protected] Human melanocytes are distributed not only in the epidermis and in hair follicles but also in mucosa, cochlea (ear), iris (eye), and mesencephalon (brain) among other tissues. Melano- cytes, which are derived from the neural crest, are unique in that they produce eu-/pheo- melanin pigments in unique membrane-bound organelles termed melanosomes, which can be divided into four stages depending on their degree of maturation. Pigmentation production is determined by three distinct elements: enzymes involved in melanin synthesis, proteins required for melanosome structure, and proteins required for their trafficking and distribution. Many genes are involved in regulating pigmentation at various levels, and mutations in many of them cause pigmentary disorders, which can be classified into three types: hyperpigmen- tation (including melasma), hypopigmentation (including oculocutaneous albinism [OCA]), and mixed hyper-/hypopigmentation (including dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria). We briefly review vitiligo as a representative of an acquired hypopigmentation disorder. igments that determine human skin colors somes can be divided into four stages depend- Pinclude melanin, hemoglobin (red), hemo- ing on their degree of maturation.

  • Frequency of Different Types of Facial Melanoses Referring to the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Nepal Medical Colle
    Amatya et al. BMC Dermatology (2020) 20:4 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12895-020-00100-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Frequency of different types of facial melanoses referring to the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital in 2019, and assessment of their effect on health-related quality of life Bibush Amatya* , Anil Kumar Jha and Shristi Shrestha Abstract Background: Abnormalities of facial pigmentation, or facial melanoses, are a common presenting complaint in Nepal and are the result of a diverse range of conditions. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency, underlying cause and impact on quality of life of facial pigmentary disorders among patients visiting the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital (NMCTH) over the course of one year. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, NMCT H. We recruited patients with facial melanoses above 16 years of age who presented to the outpatient department. Clinical and demographic data were collected and all the enrolled participants completed the validated Nepali version of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Results: Between January 5, 2019 to January 4, 2020, a total of 485 patients were recruited in the study. The most common diagnoses were melasma (166 patients) and post acne hyperpigmentation (71 patients). Quality of life impairment was highest in patients having melasma with steroid induced rosacea-like dermatitis (DLQI = 13.54 ± 1.30), while it was lowest in participants with ephelides (2.45 ± 1.23). Conclusion: Facial melanoses are a common presenting complaint and lead to substantial impacts on quality of life.

There are few documented reports in the literature, and many cases without proven diagnosis may have been treated with pigment lasers, especially in beauty parlour settings. We report a case referred from a private practitioner who has a special interest in dermatology. The patient was diagnosed subsequently as having Riehl’s melanosis and treated with non-tyrosinase inhibitor bleaching agents, sun avoidance and mandatory abstinence from over-the-counter cosmetic products.
