Article Synopsis
- Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini is a rare, benign skin condition characterized by single or multiple asymptomatic atrophic plaques, predominantly affecting women of European descent, usually appearing in their 20s or 30s.
- Recent reports suggest a potential link between this condition and COVID-19, with a notable case of rapid progression post-infection observed in a 63-year-old female patient who was initially misdiagnosed with morphea.
- Accurate diagnosis relies on histopathological verification and clinical examination, as the condition often resembles morphea and may lead to treatment delays if not correctly identified.
Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp (EPD) is a rare condition that affects predominantly the adult population and occurs on a previously photo-damaged bald scalp. The physical examination is presented with large erythematous, erosive and crusted patches with granulation on an atrophic skin. The problem in patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp arises from the non-specific clinical and histopathological findings, which can be misleading.

- Comel-Netherton syndrome (Netherton syndrome) is a rare genetic skin condition that can severely impact patients' social skills and mental health, making diagnosis difficult as it often resembles other skin disorders.
- Accurate diagnosis requires careful clinical and histological assessments, sometimes needing multiple biopsies due to its similarity with conditions like severe atopic dermatitis.
- Current treatments include retinoids and systemic therapies, but there's a push for innovative therapies like targeted and anti-cytokine medications to better address the inflammatory aspects of the disease.
Tumors of the scalp remain a serious challenge for clinicians since poor locoregional skin elasticity hinders the ability to utilise certain flaps, limiting the choice of reconstructive techniques available. As a result, surgical restoration of medium to large-sized defects are left to the discretion of the surgeon, who with a comprehensive knowledge of restorative techniques, along with the advantages, limitations as well as a sound understanding of the locoregional anatomy, can make thorough decisions on the choice of which flap is best suited for the defect. Here we present two cases where the double hatchet flap was employed as a dermatosurgical approach in order to provide exceptional cosmetic results.
