Post-traumatic ulcerated and chronic necrobiosis lipoidica of the elbow: A new entity?
Ann Dermatol Venereol
September 2023
Article Synopsis
- Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a long-term skin condition typically seen on lower legs but is reported here on elbows, often following trauma or surgery.
- In a study of four patients (three men and one woman, average age 64), all developed chronic skin lesions after surgical or traumatic injury, with symptoms such as plaques and ulceration.
- Treatments included doxycycline, which helped two patients partially heal, and adalimumab, which successfully cleared ulcers in one patient, indicating a need for further investigation into this unusual presentation of NL.
Article Synopsis
- - The case involves a healthy 26-year-old man with telangiectatic macules on his left thorax and arm since childhood, leading to various diagnostic considerations including unilateral nevoid telangiectasia (UNT) and others.
- - The ultimate diagnosis was confirmed as UNT, which is a rare condition primarily affecting men, presenting either congenitally or acquired, with congenital cases being less common and stable into adulthood.
- - Treatment options include pulsed-dye lasers and addressing estrogen levels, along with performing thorough exams to rule out serious underlying conditions like liver or thyroid disorders in cases of unilateral telangiectasia.
Clinicopathologic analysis of trichoblastoma and comparison with nodular basal cell carcinoma.
Ann Dermatol Venereol
September 2021
Background: Trichoblastoma (TB) is an uncommon benign follicular tumour for which clinical data is limited since most reports originate from pathology studies.
Objective: To describe the clinical aspects of TB.
Methods: This is an ancillary study of a prospective multicentre cohort of 2710 clinically suspected basal cell carcinoma (BCC), including 935 nodular BCCs.
Introduction: Androgen receptor (AR) immunohistochemistry is used in general pathology and in dermatopathology, particularly for sebaceous tumours. The goal of this study was to quantify AR expression in benign and malignant epidermal tumours and adnexal tumours.
Methods: We studied AR expression in 301 skin lesions using standard immunohistochemistry and compared 10 trichoblastomas, 10 sebaceomas and 10 hidradenomas using 5 markers (cytokeratin 7 and 8, PHLDA1, BerEp4 and AR).
