Abstract: Botulinum toxin is a superfamily of neurotoxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum with well-established efficacy and safety profile in focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis. Recently, botulinum toxins have also been used in many other skin diseases, in off label regimen. The objective of this manuscript is to review and analyze the main therapeutic applications of botulinum toxins in skin diseases. A systematic review of the published data was conducted, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Botulinum toxins present several label and off-label indications of interest for dermatologists. The best-reported evidence concerns focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis, Raynaud phenomenon, suppurative hidradenitis, Hailey–Hailey disease, epidermolysis bullosa simplex Weber–Cockayne type, Darier’s disease, pachyonychia congenita, aquagenic keratoderma, alopecia, psoriasis, notalgia paresthetica, facial erythema and flushing, and oily skin. -

We report a case of a 73-year-old man with cystinuria taking penicillamine for over 50 years who presented with penicillamine-induced cutis laxa and milia en plaque. A brief review of penicillamine induced skin changes, specifically cutis laxa and milia en plaque, is presented. Key Words: penicillamine, elastic tissue, cystinuria, cutis laxa, milia en plaque Introduction Penicillamine is a chelating agent commonly used to treat cystinuria and Wilson disease. Cystinuria is a genetic disorder in which patients lack the cysteine amino acid transporter. -
Anetoderma Secondary to Mid-Dermal Elastolysis
Anetoderma Secondary to Mid-dermal Elastolysis Gabriela A. Maloney, BS,* Jane James, MD, PhD,** Michael Welsch, MD,** Marylee Braniecki, MD** *Midwestern University, Downers Grove, IL **Pathology Department, University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System, Chicago, IL Abstract Anetoderma usually presents as circumscribed, 1 cm to 2 cm patches and plaques of flaccid skin secondary to loss of dermal elastic tissue. Lesions often occur in the neck, upper extremities, chest, and back. On histopathology, one sees complete loss of dermal elastin involving the papillary and reticular dermis, with infiltration of plasma cells and histiocytes. A 40-year-old female with no significant medical history presented with multiple round, 1 cm to 2 cm lesions scattered on her upper back and chest. Skin biopsy demonstrated elastic-fiber loss localized to the mid-dermis along with a lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with elastophagocytosis and active inflammatory phase in the papillary and mid-reticular dermis. The histopathological findings were consistent with mid-dermal elastolysis with advancing inflammation, and the clinical features were consistent with anetoderma. The microscopic examination revealed an active inflammatory phase of mid-dermal elastolysis, supporting the postulated theory that MDE may be part of a continuous spectrum with anetoderma. Case Report by lax, wrinkled skin with underlying palpable biopsy and elastic-fiber staining demonstrated A 40-year-old female with no significant medical depression (Figure 1). They were often preceded elastic-fiber loss in the mid-dermis along with history presented with multiple round, 1 cm to by two to six months of local erythema and had a lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with evidence 2 cm lesions scattered throughout the upper increased in number over the past two years. -
Dermatose Degenerativa Induzida Por D-Penicilamina Em Paciente Com Doença De Wilson
Revista SPDV 76(2) 2018; D-Penicillamine induced degenerative dermopathy; Rui Pedro Santos, Joana Gomes, Celeste Brito. Caso Clínico Dermatose Degenerativa Induzida por D-penicilamina em Paciente com Doença de Wilson Rui Pedro Santos1, Joana Gomes2, Celeste Brito2 1Interno de Dermatovenereologia/Resident, Dermatovenereology, Hospital de Braga, Braga, Portugal 2Especialista de Dermatovenereologia/Specialist of Dermatovenereology, Hospital de Braga, Braga, Portugal RESUMO – As dermatoses degenerativas induzidas por D-penicilamina incluem, entre outras, a elastose perfurante serpiginosa e o pseudo-pseudoxantoma elástico. A elastose perfurante serpiginosa é uma doença perfurante rara caracterizada pela elimi- nação transepidérmica de fibras elásticas anormais. Esta condição pode ser idiopática, reativa ou induzida por D-penicilamina, habitualmente utilizada para o tratamento da doença de Wilson, cistinúria, artrite reumatóide ou esclerose sistémica. Manifesta- ções cutâneas semelhantes a pseudoxantoma elástico mas sem história familiar e mutações do gene ABCC6 foram identificadas como sendo uma dermatose induzida por D-penicilamina e designada de pseudo-pseudoxantoma elástico. Descreve-se o caso de uma mulher de 17 anos tratada por vários anos com D-penicilamina para doença de Wilson, com pápulas assintomáticas, algumas cor de pele e hiperqueratósicas e outras macias e amareladas, na região cervical e face. A histopatolo- gia mostrou a eliminação transepidérmica de fibras elásticas espessadas, em forma de dentes de serra. Estes achados sugeriram uma dermopatia induzida por D-penicilamina e os autores consideraram o diagnóstico de elastose perfurante serpiginosa e pseudo-pseudoxantoma elástico no mesmo paciente. O fármaco foi alterado para acetato de zinco sem lesões novas, mas com manutenção das lesões existentes no seguimento a 1 ano. -

Elastosis Perforans Serpiginosa: a D-penicillamine induced dermatoses in a patient with Wilson’s disease. Autops Case Rep [Internet]. 2020 Apr-Jun;10(2):e2020167. https://doi.org/10.4322/acr.2020.167 ABSTRACT Long term use of D-penicillamine for Wilson’s disease can be associated with many adverse reactions and systemic side effects. We report the case of a 28-year-old male patient diagnosed with Wilson’s disease presenting with a serpiginous raised violaceous skin lesion in the anterior aspect of the neck over the last six months and two small papules with central umbilication during the last month. Histopathological examination of skin lesions demonstrated transepidermal perforating channel, and the Verhoeff’s-van Gieson stain showed marked increase number of irregular serrated elastic fibers suggesting the diagnosis of D- penicillamine induced elastosis perforans serpiginosa.

INTRODUCTION CASE REPORT D-penicillamine (DPA) therapy is the mainstay A 28-year-male diagnosed with WD on oral DPA of chelation therapy for patients of Wilson’s therapy (250 mg thrice daily) for the last 18 years disease (WD). Various systemic adverse effects, presented with serpiginous raised violaceous skin including many dermatological manifestations, lesions in the anterior aspect of neck over the last may be observed with prolonged use of this drug. six months and two small papules with central The dermatological side effects of DPA can be of three umbilication for one month (Figure 1). -
