Several therapeutic options have been employed in vitiligo including topical and oral drugs, surgical techniques, and phototherapy which is considered the cornerstone treatment.

Mycobacterium marinum is a nontuberculous mycobacteria with worldwide distribution that lives in fresh or salt water and is responsible for infections in fish, and sometimes in humans. Human disease consists mainly of cutaneous nodules, but deep structure involvement may also occur. Diagnosis of M. marinum infection remains a challenge, with a considerable time delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis. We present a 33-year-old man with no immunosuppressive history who was seen in our department ...

Novel coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted health care in general and has disrupted our routines. Health care services were mostly directed towards the emergency response and containment measures to halt virus spreading have been applied worldwide. It has also indirectly impacted the transmission of other infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STI). For STI, physical distancing measures have the potential to decrease STI transmission whereas the impact of COVID-19 on ...

Becker nevus, first described by Samuel William Becker in 1949, is a focal epidermal hypermelanotic disorder. It commonly presents as a unilateral hyperpigmented patch that is predominantly distributed on the upper trunk and proximal extremities and frequently associated with hypertrichosis. There have been few reports in the literature of Becker nevus with bilateral involvement; multiple Becker nevi is also unusual. Herein, we report a young man with two bilateral symmetrical giant Becker nevi, ...

Abstract Extramammary Paget disease is a rare neoplastic condition that more commonly affects postmenopausal Caucasian women. Although the vulvar area is the most frequently affected location, it corresponds solely to 1 to 2% of all vulvar malignancies. A 72-year-old female patient was observed in our outpatient clinic with a 2-year history of an erythematous and pruritic plaque on the vulva. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies were compatible with extramammary Paget disease of the vulva. ...

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection with a multiplicity of clinical presentations that has been known for centuries. Recently, a new wave of syphilis has been reported in developed countries and men who have sex with men, especially those coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), have the highest rates of syphilis infection. In these patients, cutaneous manifestation can be even more diverse. We report a case of secondary syphilis in a young male patient coinfected with HIV whose ...

To the Editor: Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare chronic cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) belonging to the group of neutrophilic dermatoses. Although it can be an idiopathic vasculitis, in some cases it occurs in the context of an underlying systemic disease. As such, these patients must be carefully evaluated to exclude associated pathology. EED usually presents as symmetrical distributed red–brown nodules, papules, or plaques commonly affecting extensor joint surfaces of the ...

Our goal was to characterize the noninfectious vulvar diseases that required a biopsy in a southwestern Europe Central Hospital during a 10-year period. Methods: A retrospective study of all the noninfectious vulvar diseases with histological confirmation diagnosed in our institution was conducted between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2017. Results: The sample included ...

Eccrine squamous syringometaplasia (ESS) is a histological term describing a mature squamous metaplasia of the eccrine ducts. Eccrine squamous syringometaplasia is not an infrequent histological finding and may be associated with chemotherapy or with a variety of non-specific conditions including infections, neoplastic conditions, and inflammatory skin diseases. We report a 75-year-old man who developed ESS within lesions of leukemia cutis (LC). The patient had an inaugural diagnosis of acute myeloid ...

The bilobed flap has been extensively used in the reconstruction of distal nasal defects. It is a local flap that recruits skin from areas where there is relative skin mobility to close defects in areas where the skin has less plasticity. Besides its usefulness in the reconstruction of small to moderate cutaneous nasal defects it can also be used to reconstruct large defects located in other anatomical areas. We present a clinical case in which the bilobed skin flap was employed to reconstruct a ...
