Silicone Granulomas at the Peripheral Intravenous Cannula Puncture Site.

Different adverse reactions to silicone present in cosmetic fillers, implants, or medical devices have been reported. The granulomatous reaction on the injection site due to catheters' silicone coating is an infrequent complication, which may be clinically difficult to suspect. Although the definitive diagnosis requires identification of the silicone with techniques such as X-ray spectroscopy, the possibility of involvement of silicone, as well as the histopathologic demonstration of granulomas with refractile, nonpolarizable, and nonstainable material strongly suggests this diagnosis.

Scabies in a 14-year-old girl with superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis.

A 14-year-old girl who reported generalized scaling and hyperkeratosis since age 1 year presented with severe pruritus of several months' duration. Scabies mites were detected, and molecular genetic analysis subsequently revealed a rare pathogenic variant in the keratin 2 (KRT2) gene, confirming a diagnosis of superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis. Treatment with oral ivermectin led to complete remission of symptoms.

Lipedematous scalp. A rare entity in the pediatric ageLipedema de cuero cabelludo: una entidad infrecuente en pediatría.

Lipedematous scalp is an uncommon entity of unknown etiology, rarely described in the pediatric age. It is characterized by boggy thickening of the scalp predominantly located at the vertex and occiput, which acquires a cotton-like consistency. This condition is palpable rather than visible.

[Solitary morphea profunda: An unusual form of localized scleroderma in childhood. Case report].

Solitary morphea profunda is an unusual form of localized scleroderma in childhood. It is characterized by a single, poorly defined and indurate plaque often located on the upper trunk near the spine. Solitary morphea profunda is frequently asymptomatic and shows no associated systemic involvement.

Aplasia cutis congénita con defecto óseo subyacente: evolución favorable tras manejo conservador.

La aplasia cutis congénita es una rara alteración caracterizada por la ausencia de áreas localizadas de piel en el momento del nacimiento. Suele manifestarse como una lesión solitaria localizada principalmente en el cuero cabelludo, que puede estar asociada con otras malformaciones congénitas. Las complicaciones pueden ser fatales, por lo que es necesario un tratamiento individualizado que vendrá determinado por el tamaño, localización y grado de afectación de estructuras subyacentes.

Usefulness of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of subcutaneous granuloma annulare.

Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is a benign inflammatory disorder that primarily affects healthy children and manifests as a rapidly growing, painless, nonmobile mass, most commonly located in the leg. The current case highlights the sonographic appearance of subcutaneous granuloma annulare. Ultrasound color Doppler is a helpful noninvasive imaging test that may allow physicians to confirm the diagnosis of subcutaneous granuloma annulare and avoid unnecessary medical procedures.

Anetodermic pilomatricoma: clinical, histopathologic, and sonographic findings.

Pilomatricoma is a benign cutaneous tumor originatingfrom hair matrix cells. Anetodermic changes inthe skin overlying pilomatricomas are sometimesreported, although their precise mechanisms remainunknown. We present an unusual case of anetodermicpilomatricoma on the upper extremity of a 17-yearoldboy and report its clinical, histopathologic, andsonographic findings.

Cutaneous and Systemic Findings in Mosaic Neurofibromatosis Type 1.

Background/objectives: Mosaic neurofibromatosis type 1 (MNF1) is a variant of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in which clinical manifestations are limited to one or several body segments. The objective was to characterize the cutaneous features and associated systemic findings in a cohort of children with MNF1.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 40 children diagnosed with MNF1 at the Department of Dermatology, Hospital Infantil Niño Jesús, Madrid, Spain, from January 1, 1986, to October 31, 2015.

Usefulness of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Neonatal Dacryocystocele.

Neonatal dacryocystocele is an uncommon process that may evolve into acute dacryocystitis within the first weeks of life. Neonatal acute dacryocystitis must be treated promptly to avoid potential severe infectious complications. High-frequency ultrasound is a noninvasive method of diagnosing dacryocystocele, facilitating early therapeutic intervention.

Criptococosis cutánea primaria en paciente inmunocompetente.

La criptococosis cutánea es una micosis propia de pacientes inmunodeprimidos, sobre todo aquellos con infección por el virusde la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). Sin embargo, existen casos infrecuentes de criptococosis cutánea en pacientes inmunocompetentes, que suelen simular otras dermatosis, lo que retrasa su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Presentamos el caso de un varón pluripatológico de 79 años, con úlceras dolorosas en dorso de mano derecha que no respondían a tratamientos tópicos.
