We report a case of trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) on the scalp of a 69-year-old woman. Initially, the diagnosis of pityriasis amiantacea was considered. The review of pathological antecedents and knowledge of TTS were fundamental for the diagnosis of this illness. We performed a brief review on TTS and differential diagnoses.
Acquired elastotic hemangioma is a hemangioma variant first described in 2002. It
is characterized by being a benign, solitary, slow-growing lesion, that appears
in adulthood and is associated with solar exposure. It is a rare hemangioma
variant with few cases reported in the literature. We present a case of acquired
elastotic hemangioma on the back of the right hand and forearm in a male adult.
Acquired elastotic hemangioma is a benign vascular proliferation associated with
solar exposure, usually assymptomatic. It affects adults between 59 and 65 years
of age. Histopatologically it is characterized by proliferation of small vessels
in the upper dermis that are disposed parallel to the epidermis, and significant
solar elastosis. The treatment is surgical, with no relapses reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
