[email protected] Abstract: Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM) examination of the scales in different scaly scalp disorders reveal the importance of alteration in the stratum corneum in the diagnosis of these disorders. Each disease has its own characteristic scale features that are distinguished from other scaly disorders. Specimens from 20 patients with different scaly scalp conditions were randomly taken and examined by both SEM and TEM. Each scaly scalp disorder expressed its characteristic SEM and TEM findings. These findings may pave the way for further understanding of the differences between scaly scalp disorders that may look alike or slightly different in their clinical presentation.

  • Pityriasis Amiantacea: a Study of Seven Cases*
    COMMUNICATION 694 s Pityriasis amiantacea: a study of seven cases* Gustavo Moreira Amorim1 Nurimar Conceição Fernandes1 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/abd1806-4841.20164951 Abstract: Pityriasis amiantacea was first described in 1832. The disease may be secondary to any skin condition that primarily affects the scalp, including seborrheic dermatitis. Its pathogenesis remains uncertain. We aim to analyze the epidemiological and clinical profiles of patients with pityriasis amiantacea to better understand treatment responses. We identified seven cases of pityriasis amiantacea and a female predominance in a sample of 63 pediatric patients with seborrheic dermatitis followed for an average of 20.4 months. We reported a mean age of 5.9 years. Five patients were female, with a mean age of 9 years. All patients were successfully treated with topic ketoconazole. Keywords: Dermatitis, seborrheic; Pityriasis; Tinea Pityriasis amiantacea (PA) can be described as an exagger- obtained through a review of medical records. Inclusion criteria for ated inflammatory response pattern that affects the scalp, secondary seborrheic dermatitis were: erythema and scaling of the scalp, with to any dermatitis that may affect that region. It was first described or without advancement to the retroauricular regions; presence or by Alibert in 1832 as a condition characterized by thick silvery or absence of erythematous scaly lesions in other seborrheic areas; and yellowish scales, resembling asbestos fibers, strongly adhered to absence of atopic eczematous lesions or psoriasis. Inclusion criteria tufts of hair.1 Frequency data for the disease are scarce in the lit- for pityriasis amiantacea were silvery or yellowish scales encircling erature and its etiopathogenesis remains unclear.

Abstract Skin and subcutaneous conditions affect an estimated 1.9 billion people at any given time and remain the fourth leading cause of non-fatal disease burden worldwide. Access to dermatology care is limited due to a shortage of dermatologists, causing long wait times and leading patients to seek dermatologic care from general practitioners. However, the diagnostic accuracy of general practitioners has been reported to be only 0.24-0.70 (compared to 0.77-0.96 for dermatologists), resulting in over- and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ under-referrals, delays in care, and errors in diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we developed a deep learning system (DLS) to provide a differential diagnosis of skin conditions for clinical cases (skin photographs and associated medical histories).

    Journal of Clinical Medicine Review Topographic Differential Diagnosis of Chronic Plaque Psoriasis: Challenges and Tricks Paolo Gisondi * , Francesco Bellinato and Giampiero Girolomoni Section of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Medicine, University of Verona, 37129 Verona, Italy; [email protected] (F.B.); [email protected] (G.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 September 2020; Accepted: 5 November 2020; Published: 8 November 2020 Abstract: Background: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease presenting with erythematous and desquamative plaques with sharply demarcated margins, usually localized on extensor surface areas. Objective: To describe the common differential diagnosis of plaque psoriasis classified according to its topography in the scalp, trunk, extremities, folds (i.e., inverse), genital, palmoplantar, nail, and erythrodermic psoriasis. Methods: A narrative review based on an electronic database was performed including reviews and original articles published until 1 September 2020, assessing the clinical presentations and differential diagnosis for psoriasis. Results: Several differential diagnoses could be considered with other inflammatory, infectious, and/or neoplastic disorders. Topographical differential diagnosis may include seborrheic dermatitis, tinea capitis, lichen planopilaris in the scalp; lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, atopic dermatitis, syphilis, tinea corporis, pityriasis rubra pilaris in the trunk and arms; infectious intertrigo in the inguinal and intergluteal folds and eczema and palmoplantar keratoderma in the palms and soles. Conclusions: Diagnosis of psoriasis is usually straightforward but may at times be difficult and challenging. Skin cultures for dermatophytes and/or skin biopsy for histological examination could be required for diagnostic confirmation of plaque psoriasis. Keywords: psoriasis; plaque psoriasis; differential diagnosis; diagnosis; papulosquamous lesions 1.
