Composite hemangioendothelioma in a 2-year-old girl.

Composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE) is a rare locally aggressive vascular neoplasm of intermediate malignancy. We describe a 2-year-old patient diagnosed with this tumor. Careful documentation of patients with CHE is crucial to better define the prognosis and treatment of this entity.

[Spanish translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the ADTC scale (Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool)].

Objetives: Obtain a version to validate it in a population of adults with AD.

Materials And Methods: 1) Translation into Spanish and cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaire from the original version in English, through a seven-step process. 2) Evaluation of the unidimensionality of the resulting scale by means of an exploratory factor analysis (EFA), of its reliability by means of Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and of its validity by evaluating the correlation of its score with those of the POEM and DLQI questionnaires.

Tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans: An emerging disease in Argentina.

Tinea capitis is a dermatophytosis, which is more common in children. It is caused by dermatophytes that vary according to the region; the most frequently isolated dermatophyte in our setting is Microsporum canis. Given its anthropophilic nature, its dissemination via interpersonal transmission and through the use of hair care tools is very common.

Idiopathic aseptic facial granuloma: A retrospective study of 43 cases.

Background: Idiopathic aseptic facial granuloma (IAFG) is an underrecognized pediatric skin disease, currently considered within the spectrum of rosacea. It usually manifests as a solitary, reddish, asymptomatic nodule on the cheek that resolves spontaneously.

Methods: Retrospective and descriptive observational study of 43 pediatric patients with a clinical diagnosis of IAFG, followed between 2004 and 2022, at two general hospitals in Argentina.

[Recommendations for psoriasis treatment in Pediatrics].

Introduction: in one third of patients with psoriasis, symptoms start during childhood and adolescence, with a strong emotional and psychosocial impact.

Objective: to develop a guideline for the systemic treatment of psoriasis in pediatric patients by means of recommendations based on the best available evidence.

Materials And Methods: Sources: articles indexed in PubMed, Epistemonikos, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and Scielo, published between January 2010 and May 2022, in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Impact of atopic dermatitis on quality of life: a large web-based survey from Argentina.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin condition that is associated with detrimental effects on the lives of patients and their families, including an impact on quality of life (QOL). Studies about QOL on Latin American AD patients are scarce and have generally included few patients.

Objective: describing AD impact on the QOL in a large cohort in Argentina.

[Management of ulcers on a segmental hemangioma: A combination of systemic and topical therapies in two pediatric cases].

Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common benign tumors of childhood, and segmental ones are rare and associated with a poor prognosis. While these tumors look harmless, one of their main related complications is ulceration during tumor growth. The management in these cases is extremely challenging, requiring a combination of multiple approaches, some specifically aimed at preventing the proliferation of the hemangioma and others aimed at wound care, pain management, and prevention of further infection.

[Tinea capitis by Trichophyton tonsurans in a pediatric patient].

Tinea capitis (TC) is a superficial mycosis of the scalp, considered one of the most common dermatophyte infections in children. Until now, the species mainly described in our environment are Microsporum and secondly Trichophyton, which are contracted mainly by direct contact with infected animals or humans, respectively. We present the case of an 8-year-old patient with alopecia and inflammatory lesions of 2 years of evolution, finally reaching the diagnosis of inflammatory tinea capitis caused by T.

The Genomic and Phenotypic Landscape of Ichthyosis: An Analysis of 1000 Kindreds.

Importance: Ichthyoses are clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by scaly skin. Despite decades of investigation identifying pathogenic variants in more than 50 genes, clear genotype-phenotype associations have been difficult to establish.

Objective: To expand the genotypic and phenotypic spectra of ichthyosis and delineate genotype-phenotype associations.

CARD14-associated papulosquamous eruption (CAPE) in pediatric patients: Three additional cases and review of the literature.

CARD14-associated papulosquamous eruption (CAPE) is a proposed term that encompasses features ranging from psoriasis to pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) in association with CARD14 mutations. The early onset of the disease, prominent facial involvement, family history of an autosomal dominant trait, and poor response to conventional treatment are characteristics of CAPE that distinguish it from classical psoriasis and PRP. We describe the clinical features, family history, and response to therapy in three unrelated children with CAPE and compare these characteristics with those of previously described pediatric patients.

[Trichophyton benhamiae, an emergent zoonotic pathogen in Argentina associated with Guinea pigs: Description of 7cases in Buenos Aires].

Trichophyton benhamiae is a zoonotic dermatophyte that can cause tinea corporis, tinea faciei and tinea capitis, producing inflammatory lesions, especially in children. In this publication, we describe 7clinical cases of pediatric patients that occurred in our institution between July 2019 and January 2020. All patients underwent a conventional mycological study.

Systemic Type I IFN Inflammation in Human ISG15 Deficiency Leads to Necrotizing Skin Lesions.

Most monogenic disorders have a primary clinical presentation. Inherited ISG15 deficiency, however, has manifested with two distinct presentations to date: susceptibility to mycobacterial disease and intracranial calcifications from hypomorphic interferon-II (IFN-II) production and excessive IFN-I response, respectively. Accordingly, these patients were managed for their infectious and neurologic complications.

Psoriasis and pregnancy in the biologic era, a feared scenario. What do we do now?

Psoriasis is a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory disease; its clinical severity can vary widely. Treatment of severe cases during pregnancy is of special interest. To date there is scarce information available and most data comes from other medical specialties that use similar treatments.

Onychodystrophy as the only sign of congenital candidiasis.

Congenital candidiasis infection often presents as a skin rash with variable involvement of nails and mucous membranes. Isolated nail involvement is rare, may present late, and can often be managed with topical antifungal medication. We report a case of congenital candidiasis limited to the fingernails that resolved completely within 3 months with topical treatment.

Unusual skin manifestations associated with parvovirus B19 primary infection in children.

Parvovirus B19 is a DNA virus of the Parvoviridae family. We present four children with unusual exanthems associated with parvovirus infection: a purpuric periflexural pattern, a purpuric vasculitic pattern, and a combination of the two.
