  • Imatinib-Induced Lichenoid Eruption: a Case Report and a Review of Literature
    Vol.33 No.4 Case report 329 Imatinib-induced lichenoid eruption: A case report and a review of literature. Thiraphong Mekwilaiphan MD, Natta Rajatanavin MD. ABSTRACT: MEKWILAIPHAN T, RAJATANAVIN N. IMATINIB-INDUCED LICHENOID ERUPTION: A CASE REPORT AND A REVIEW OF LITERATURE. THAI J DERMATOL 2017;33: 329-335. DIVISION OF DERMATOLOGY, DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE, FACULTY OF MEDICINE, RAMATHIBODI HOSPITAL, MAHIDOL UNIVERSITY, BANGKOK, THAILAND. Imatinib is the first generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor which consisted of bcr-abl, c-kit, and platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs). Its tolerability in the treatment of malignancies is higher than the conventional chemotherapy. However, various adverse cutaneous reactions are the most common side effect of imatinib. Nevertheless, lichenoid eruption is an uncommon cutaneous reaction from imatinib. The clinical manifestation is violaceous, flat-topped papules or plaques involving mainly trunk and extremities. Oral and genital mucosal involvement is a distinctive feature. There were no specific histopathological findings, but usually not a typical characteristic of lichen planus. Due to high prevalence of cutaneous rash, the pathogenesis may be related to pharmacological effect than hypersensitivity reaction. Dosage decrement of imatinib is a choice of treatment, or switch to the second or third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Acitretin was successfully used to treat imatinib-induced lichenoid eruption in our patient and enabling the continuation of the high imatinib dosage for her hematologic malignancy.

  • History of Psoriasis and Parapsoriasis
    History of Psoriasis and Parapsoriasis By Karl Holubar Summary Parapsoriasis is «oï a disease entity. Jt is an auxiliary term introduced in J 902 to group several dermatoses w>itk a/aint similarity to psoriasis. Tlie liistorical development leading to tlie creation o/ t/ie term parapsoriasis is outlined and t/te Itistory o/psoriasis is 6rie/ly reviewed. Semantic and terminological considerations Obviously, para-psoriasis as a term has been created in analogy to psoriasis. We should remember similar neologisms in medical language, e. g. protein and para-protein; typhoid and para-typhoid, thyroid and para-thyroid, phimosis and para-phimosis, eventually, pemphigus and para-pemphigus (the latter in 1955 this term was to be employed instead of pemphigoid but was not accepted by the dermatological world). Literally, para is a Greek preposition, (with the genitive, dative and accusative), meaning: by the side of, next to something, alongside something. In medicine, para is used often as a prefix to another term, which designates a condition somewhat similar to the one under consideration. The same holds for psoriasis and parapsoria- sis. In detail, though, it is a bit more complicated. Parapsoriasis has more than one "/at/ier", three in fact: ideiurick /Iu.spitz f 1835—1886,), Paul Gerson Luna (A850—1929j and Louis Procç fI856—I928J. Auspitz, in 1881, had published a new system of skin diseases the seventh class of which was called epidermidoses, subdivided into liypcrlcfiratose.s, parakeratoses, kerato/y- ses, the characteristics of which were excessive keratinization, abnormal keratinization and insufficent keratinization. When Unna, in 1890®, pub- lished his two reports on what he called parakeratosis variegata, he referred to Auspitz' system and term when coining his own.
