Rapidly lethal dermatomyositis associated with cutaneous lymphangitis carcinoma...

A 70-year-old woman with a recent diagnosis of dermatomyositis (DM) presented to the dermatology department for study of a probably paraneoplastic syndrome. On examination, we observed discrete, indurated, reddish, painful plaques and nodules on her abdomen and both thighs.

Giant pilomatricoma in a patient with tuberous sclerosis, both diagnosed in the...

Pilomatricoma is a relatively common benign skin neoplasm originating from the hair follicle matrix cells. β-Catenin is a subunit of the cadherin protein complex. It acts as an intracellular signal transducer that influences cell differentiation and proliferation. This protein was recently involved in the formation of hair follicle-related tumours, including pilomatricomas. Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an inherit...

Cutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Alternaria alternata Unresponsive to Itra...

Cutaneous alternariosis is an opportunistic infection that has been described mainly in patients treated with corticosteroids. We report a case of dermal alternariosis occurring in a woman treated with corticosteroids after a neurosurgery that was unresponsive to itraconazole. Treatment with intravenous voriconazole was initiated, followed by oral protocol, with marked improvement of the lesions.
