“…Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease; ocular involvement has been described in 25–40% of patients 1 and usually starts with atopic blepharitis (eyelid dermatitis), followed by conjunctivitis and sometimes keratitis. The most visual threatening type is atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) (Fig.…”

that red pseudo-network appearance was significantly associated with AK, whereas dotted ⁄ glomerular vessel, diffuse yellow opaque scales and micro erosions were significantly more prevalent among intra-epidermal carcinoma. We found that scaling is an important dermatoscopic feature in AK especially in grade 3 lesions. Similar to these results, Zalaudek et al. declared that yellow-white opaque scale and diffuse discrete scales more prominent in intra-epidermal carcinoma than AK. And also central scales were found more common in intra-epidermal carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. 4 We have to emphasize that dermatoscopic pattern of the grade 3 AK may be similar to cutaneous carcinomas presenting with more scales. Therefore, grade 3 AK may be require more investigation such as biopsy and wide excision for definitive histopathological diagnosis. References 1 Rossi R, Mori M, Lotti T. Actinic keratosis.

A new definition and classification for AKC is presented by this review, based on clinical severity, grading the main symptoms and signs. It intends to serve as a first forum of discussion among clinicians and other scientists working in the field of ocular surface inflammation. The final intention is to have a common language helping develop efficient clinical trials leading to successful approval of new therapeutic compounds for this blinding ocular surface condition.

“…Não existe teste laboratorial específico ou característica clínica patognomônica para o seu diagnóstico, que é baseado em critérios clínicos, dos quais o mais utilizado é o de Hanifin e Rajka (4,9) . A dermatoceratoconjuntivite atópica (DCCA) foi primeiramente descrita em 1952 por Hogan, e é definida como lesão inflamatória crônica, não infecciosa, da superfície ocular, que os portadores de DA podem sofrer em qualquer etapa do curso da doença dermatológica e que independe do seu grau de gravidade segundo alguns autores, ou como doença de conjuntiva e das pálpebras, segundo outros (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) . A DCCA afeta entre 15 e 67,5% dos pacientes com DA.…”
