Milker's nodule is an occupational viral skin disease of universal distribution,
caused by the Paravaccinia virus and that occurs in individuals who deal with dairy
cattle herds. We describe a case acquired due to lack of use of PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment) and perform a literature review.
The use of lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) technology has become an established practice in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The use of laser therapy and IPL in the treatment of pigmented melanocytic lesions is a controversial issue. We report clinical, dermoscopic and histological changes of a completely regressed pigmented melanocytic nevus after hair removal treatment with the LightSheer™ Diode Laser (Lumenis Ltd, Yokneam, Israel).
Leprosy is a chronic disease characterized by manifestations in the peripheral
nerves and skin. The course of the disease may be interrupted by acute phenomena
called reactions. This article reports a peculiar case of type 2 leprosy
reaction with Sweet's syndrome-like features as the first clinical manifestation
of leprosy, resulting in a delay in the diagnosis due to unusual clinical
presentation. The patient had clinical and histopathological features
reminiscent of Sweet's syndrome associated with clusters of vacuolated
histiocytes containing acid-fast bacilli isolated or forming globi. Herein, it
is discussed how to recognize type 2 leprosy reaction with Sweet's syndrome
features, the differential diagnosis with type 1 leprosy reaction and the
treatment options. When this kind of reaction is the first clinical presentation
of leprosy, the correct diagnosis might be not suspected clinically, and
established only with histopathologic evaluation.
In the past decades, there was a considerable advance in regard to recognition of morphologic findings and classification of several benign and malignant vascular proliferations. In 2002, attention was called by Requena et al to a new variant of cutaneous hemangioma named acquired elastotic hemangioma. In this article, a case of acquired elastotic hemangioma is reported with documentation of clinical, dermatoscopic, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings. A systematic review of the previously 49 reported cases is provided. The criteria for clinical and histopathological diagnosis are highlighted.
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.
