Acantholytic acanthomas in an immunosuppressed patient

Multiple acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthomas in a liver-transplant recipient

“…Organ transplant recipients are known to be at risk for developing various hyperplastic and neoplastic epidermal proliferations. Acantholytic acanthomas [15], epidermolytic acanthomas [16], Grover disease [17,18] and Galli-Galli disease [19] have already been reported in this patient group; the latter two conditions also microscopically exhibit acantholysis and/or dyskeratosis. The case presented herein and the previously reported similar case [6] suggest that ADA should be added to the list of benign epidermal proliferations that may develop in the transplant setting.…”

Acantholytic acanthoma clinically resembling a molluscum contagiosum

“…However, other locations have been rarely reported, such as vulva, chest and areola. 4 Areolar sebaceous hyperplasia is an uncommon entity of unknown aetiology. To our knowledge, just eight cases have been reported until now.…”

“…To our knowledge, just eight cases have been reported until now. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Six of them were clinically asymptomatic, but two patients complained of sore…”

“…Such a clinical picture has been described only once 3 . The cause of acantholytic acanthoma is unknown; however, Ramos‐Caro et al 4 . reported a case in an immunosuppressed patient and suggested the role of decreased immune surveillance in the production of this lesion.…”
