“…Dystrophic cutaneous calcification secondary to long-term acne was first reported in 1928 by Hopkins [ 9 ] and later by Leider [ 10 ] who found radiographic evidence of calcinosis cutis in four of six patients with long-term AV. Other medical studies have shown that these calcifications can be identified in as many as half of all cases of long-term AV (i.e., 7 years or more) [ 11 , 12 ].…”

“…He probably had gonorrhoea in his early 20s, but otherwise appeared to be free of disease even though he was an avid cigarette smoker and often drank to excess. [8][9][10] His first symptoms of peptic ulcer disease likely occurred during the filming of The Young Rajah in 1922 when he developed abdominal pain and medicated himself with bicarbonate of soda. 11 Early in 1926, Valentino began experiencing worsening abdominal pain.…”

The eponym ‘Valentino's syndrome’ is used to describe patients with perforated peptic ulcer disease who present with right lower quadrant pain and suspected appendicitis. It is named for Rudolph Valentino, the film star who died on 23 August 1926 at the age of 31 from complications of perforated peptic ulcer disease. In the early 1920s, the Italian‐born actor had a meteoric rise to fame in the burgeoning film industry. His first starring role in the 1921 silent film, The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, was a sensation and was followed quickly by a string of commercially successful movies. He was in good health until he presented with an acute abdomen in early August of 1926. He underwent a laparotomy and was found to have a perforated peptic ulcer that was repaired with simple closure and an omental patch. He initially rallied after surgery but ultimately died on the eighth post‐operative day from complications of sepsis. This manuscript will review Valentino's brief acting career, his medical history, and how the eponym which bears his name describes a disease presentation that is different from his actual clinical course.

“…Chronic cutaneous inflammation secondary to persistent acne vulgaris may lead to small foci of calcification. This condition has been described in the literature; however, treatment has been difficult 1,2 . These calcium foci are embedded in a fibrotic scar and cannot be easily extracted 3 .…”

Dermabrasion‐Loo‐Punch‐Excision Technique for the Treatment of Acne‐Induced Osteoma Cutis

Three patients with chronic osteoma cutis secondary to acne vulgaris were treated with the dermabrasion-Loo-punch-excision technique. Under regional nerve block with lidocaine-bipuvacaine (50:50) a uniform dermabrasion was performed across the entire face, including the hairline and 1 cm below the jawline. This exposed the foci of osteoma cutis. Then the appropriate sized Loo punch (usually the 2.0- or the 2.5-mm punch) was used to excise the bluish-gray miliary lesions. The majority of the foci were removed in one operation. Following excision, the lesions were closed with 7-0 prolene suture. To prevent crust formation postoperatively, Aloe-vera-soaked polyethylene oxide gel dressings (Vigilon) were changed twice daily following an ice water compress. Sutures were removed rapidly in 5 to 7 days to prevent the appearance of suture lines. Although one patient required an additional procedure, the cosmetic results were excellent. Only a few small residual blue "dot" lesions remained in these three cases.
