Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore skin changes in patients with acromegaly, a condition often revealed through dermatological symptoms, and examine how these changes relate to disease remission and other hormonal disorders.
- Involving 278 acromegaly patients across 14 healthcare centers, dermatological evaluations revealed common skin conditions like skin tags (52.5%), cherry angiomas (47.4%), and varicose veins (33%).
- Significant associations were found between certain skin conditions and hormonal issues, such as higher rates of diabetes and hypothyroidism in patients with varicose veins, while hypertrichosis was more common in patients who had not achieved remission.
Importance: Kindler epidermolysis bullosa is a genetic skin-blistering disease associated with recessive inherited pathogenic variants in FERMT1, which encodes kindlin-1. Severe orofacial manifestations of Kindler epidermolysis bullosa, including early oral squamous cell carcinoma, have been reported.
Objective: To determine whether hypoplastic pitted amelogenesis imperfecta is a feature of Kindler epidermolysis bullosa.
