Article Synopsis
- Cutis laxa is a condition marked by loose skin and loss of elasticity, with acquired cutis laxa (ACL) showing later onset and association with various disorders, including autoimmune and metabolic issues.
- The report highlights a case where ACL resulted from acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) after gemcitabine treatment in a 76-year-old man, characterized by skin changes and specific histopathological findings.
- Among 36 cases of ACL secondary to neutrophilic dermatosis summarized in the study, Sweet syndrome was the most common cause, and while treatments exist, ACL generally proves to be difficult to manage.
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease that targets the hemidesmosomal proteins BP180 and BP230/BPAG1e. Whereas the role of anti-BP180 antibodies has been extensively characterized, the pathogenicity of anti-BPAG1e antibodies remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role of antibodies to BPAG1e in the experimental bullous pemphigoid models.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAlopecia associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor therapy is a rare cutaneous side effect with the potential to progress to scarring alopecia. Thus, dermatologists should make an early diagnosis. We present the case of a 57-year-old Japanese female with scarring alopecia associated with gefitinib, which is an EGFR inhibitor, including trichoscopic findings.
