Granulomatous Skin Diseases in a Tertiary Care Portuguese Hospital: A 10-Year Retrospective Study.

Granulomatous skin diseases comprise an extensive group of pathologies whose diagnosis usually requires a histopathological examination. At this level, various types of granulomas can be distinguished, namely tuberculoid, sarcoid, necrobiotic, suppurative, xanthogranuloma, and foreign-body granulomas. This study aimed to determine the frequency and pattern of different granulomatous skin lesions in the Dermatopathology Department of Hospital de Santa Maria (Lisboa, Portugal).

Multiple eruptive dermatofibromas associated with pregnancy- a case and literature review.

Dermatofibromas are common and asymptomatic benign histiocytic tumors. The occurrence in a small number (up to 5 lesions) is frequent. However, the expression "multiple eruptive dermatofibromas" is reserved for the appearance of more than 5 lesions in less than four months.

Dermatological emergencies: one-year data analysis of 8,620 patients from the largest Portuguese tertiary teaching hospital.

Skin conditions frequently lead to emergency department (ED) visits. While most are benign in course, some will present as true dermatological urgencies/emergencies, requiring admission. To present data on skin diseases most frequently found in the ED, and those most frequently requiring admission at the largest Portuguese tertiary teaching hospital, and to explore an association between epidemiological variables and frequency of diagnoses within this context.

Mucocutaneous manifestations of Behçet's disease.

Behçet's disease is a relapsing multisystem polysymptomatic disease with exacerbations and remissions defined by the presence of the major symptom, recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, plus two of the following: recurrent genital ulceration, eye lesions, skin lesions or a positive pathergy test. Mucocutaneous manifestations like oral and genital ulcers, and cutaneous lesions (papulopustular lesions, erythema nodosum-like lesions, cutaneous ulcers, superficial thrombophlebitis), are considered the \"fingerprint\" of the disease, being the most common and often the first signs to appear. Although the exact etiopathogenesis is still not known, genetic predispose and environmental factors may influence and contribute to the development of this disease.

Mechanisms of action of topical corticosteroids in psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a lifelong, chronic, and immune-mediated systemic disease, which affects approximately 1-3% of the Caucasian population. The different presentations of psoriasis require different approaches to treatment and appropriate prescriptions according to disease severity. The use of topical therapy remains a key component of the management of almost all psoriasis patients, and while mild disease is commonly treated only with topical agents, the use of topical therapy as adjuvant therapy in moderate-to-severe disease may also be helpful.

Cutaneous manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multiorgan autoimmune disease of unknown etiology with many clinical manifestations. The skin is one of the target organs most variably affected by the disease. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) established 11 criteria as a classificatory instrument to operationalise the definition of SLE in clinical trials.
