Dermoscopic Features of Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome

Skin lesions of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome: Clinical and histopathological findings in 31 Japanese patients who presented with pneumothorax and/or multiple lung cysts

“…Dermoscopy seems to be very useful as a diagnostic adjunct for disclosing FF. One study describing dermoscopic features of FF from three patients remarked that FF showed welldemarcated areas of pallor with central follicular openings [18]. Pathologic findings of FF show epithelial strands emanating from an enlarged hair follicle together with the proliferation of fibrous sheath around epithelial strands.…”

New Dermoscopic Findings in the Facial Angiofibromas of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

“…The differential diagnoses of angiofibromas include multiple trichoepitheliomas, fibrofolliculomas, trichofolliculomas, trichilemmomas, syringoma, dermal melanocytic nevi, and acne vulgaris. On dermoscopy: trichoepithelioma shows multiple arborizing vessels and milia-like cysts over a whitish background;[ 4 ] fibrofolliculoma reveals well-demarcated areas of pallor with central follicular openings;[ 5 ] syringoma presents pigment network, structureless light-brown areas, and reticular vessels. [ 6 ] Clinical suspicion confirmed with dermoscopic findings can aid early detection and avoid an unnecessary biopsy.…”
