Dermoscopy is a non-invasive in-office method, which enables the diagnosis of many dermatoses and reduces the need for performing biopsies. To date, no systematic review about the diagnostic usability of dermoscopy in psoriasis has been available. The objective of this article was to summarize and critically analyse literature data on the dermoscopy of skin, scalp and nail changes in psoriasis. A systematic search of three medical databases was performed. A total of 45 articles were included into the analysis. Cutaneous psoriatic lesions assessed in all studies at a low magnification showed regularly distributed red dots. At a 50-fold or higher magnification capillary bushes (glomerular vessels) with a diameter range of 50-146 lm were observed. The background colour was described as reddish or pinkish with white or yellowish scales. The most frequent dermoscopic (trichoscopic) feature of scalp psoriasis was the presence of red dots/ globules and twisted red loops. Typical dermoscopic (onychoscopic) signs of nail psoriasis were onycholysis, salmon patches and splinter haemorrhages. There is an accumulating body of evidence that dermoscopy (both handheld and videodermoscopy) is a useful tool in differential diagnosis in doubtful cases of psoriasis of the skin, scalp, nails, palms, soles and genital regions.

“…The most striking finding in our biopsies was the marked atrophy to an “apparent” loss of sebaceous lobules. Atrophy and loss of sebaceous lobules is a common finding in iPA . Furthermore, atrophy and loss of sebaceous lobules has been reported in biopsies of scalp psoriasis in the absence of alopecia .…”

TNF‐inhibitor associated psoriatic alopecia: Diagnostic utility of sebaceous lobule atrophy

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The increasingly successful and widespread use of Tumor Necrosis Factor inhibitors (TNFi) to treat autoimmune and inflammatory conditions has also been accompanied by adverse reactions, both systemic and cutaneous. Psoriasiform cutaneous rashes are well described. Recently, TNF inhibitor associated psoriatic alopecia (TiAPA) is being more frequently reported. The purpose of this study is to describe the features of TiAPA, including marked atrophy of sebaceous lobules as a histologic clue to diagnosis, helping to distinguish it from other types of alopecia. Clinical and histopathological features of 3 patients who developed scalp alopecia while on TNFi treatment were examined. Clinical follow up was conducted after discontinuation of TNFi. A review of the previous literature on the subject was also conducted. Atrophy of sebaceous lobules is a potentially reversible, characteristic and conspicuous feature of TiAPA that can be distinguished from idiopathic psoriatic alopecia by clinical history of drug exposure and sometimes by histologic presence of a mixed inflammatory response including plasma cells and eosinophils.
