A rare presentation of pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis with malignant transformation.

Pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis (PKMB) is a rare nonvenereal penile condition with a risk of malignant transformation. We report a case of PKMB in a 45-year-old male who presented with multiple keratotic growths over his glans penis after circumcision for long-standing phimosis.

Recurrent, nodular lesions over the vulva: A diagnostic challenge.

Angiokeratomas are benign tumors characterized by proliferation and dilatation of blood vessels in the upper dermis. They are divided into widespread and localized forms. The localized forms are further classified as angiokeratoma of Fordyce, angiokeratoma circumscriptum neviforme, circumscribed angiokeratoma, and angiokeratoma of Mibelli, of which angiokeratoma of Fordyce is the most common.

Surgical Outcome in Patients Taking Concomitant or Recent Intake of Oral Isotretinoin: A Multicentric Study-ISO-AIMS Study.

Cerebriform Cutaneous Lesions in Pemphigus Vegetans.

Pemphigus vegetans is an autoimmune bullous disorder characterized by vegetating lesions commonly over the flexures. A 42-year-old female patient came with pemphigus vegetans presenting with interesting cerebriform morphology of the cutaneous lesions over the flexures. Cerebriform tongue, a morphology with typical pattern of sulci and gyri over dorsum of the tongue is a well-known sign seen in pemphigus vegetans.

An atypical presentation of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.

Cutaneous manifestations in antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) though common, are extremely diverse and it is important to know which dermatological finding should prompt consideration of antiphospholipid syndrome. The cutaneous manifestations of APS vary from livedo reticularis to cutaneous necrosis, and systemic involvement is invariably an accomplice in APS. Cutaneous ulcers with sharp margins can be seen in APS and they are usually seen on the legs.
