Primary Annular Plaque‐Type Psoriasis

Abstract

We described two adolescent girls with untreated, consistently annular, plaque-type psoriasis without pustules, a presentation that is to our knowledge, not previously described. No typical confluent plaque-type lesions were present. The plaques in our patients resembled other entities such as tinea corporis and erythema annulare centrifugum, given the erythematous, scaling borders and central clearing. Biopsy specimens from our patients showed features characteristic of psoriasis vulgaris. Both patients responded to combination therapy with calcipotriene and a mid-potency steroid. We conclude that primary annular plaque-type psoriasis shares features of both typical plaque-type and annular pustular psoriasis, suggesting that these entities represent a spectrum of psoriatic disease.

Efficacy and safety of treatments for childhood psoriasis: A systematic literature review

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Eight studies were excluded: two because there was no clear diagnosis of psoriasis, 7,8 one because of a vague description of treatment strategy, 9 3 because of the lack of an identified outcome measure, [10][11][12] one because of a concomitant HIV infection, 16 and one because of the use of an antipsoriatic combination therapy. 13 Herz et al 15 (LOE 4) published an open-label study on halobetasol cream 0.05%. In 72.7% of patients, lesions healed after 2 weeks of treatment.…”

Erythema anulare centrifugum Darier

“…Differenzialdiagnostisch muss an eine Tinea corporis oder einen subakut kutanen Lupus erythematodes sowie an eine anuläre bzw. gyrierte Psoriasis vulgaris gedacht werden [5,8]. Zum Ausschluss von Triggerfaktoren sollte eine Fokussuche mit entsprechender Sanierung im Vordergrund stehen.…”
