Article Synopsis
- * The disease is associated with other skin abnormalities due to issues in hair follicle development and shows distinctive histological features, including heavily pigmented and elongated rete ridges.
- * Treatment options are limited, with ineffective medical therapies; however, some patients have benefitted from ablative laser therapy, as demonstrated by a case where laser ablation was used on vulvar lesions.
A 43-year-old African-American female with anemia secondary to uterine leiomyomas and menorrhagia presented with induration and stiffness of the right arm and hand four weeks after receiving intravenous iron infusions at multiple infusion sites along the right proximal forearm. Multiple intravenous sites between her right antecubital fossa and wrist had to be used because developing pain necessitated the site changes. The iron infusions were performed because the patient had refused blood transfusions and her symptoms failed to resolve on oral iron supplementation.

Objective: We sought to compare accuracy of store-and-forward teledermatology for pigmented neoplasms with standard, in-person clinic dermatology.
Methods: We conducted a repeated measures equivalence trial involving veterans with pigmented skin neoplasms.
Background: Studies of teledermatology utilizing the standard reference of histopathology are lacking.
Objective: To compare accuracy of store-and-forward teledermatology for non-pigmented neoplasms with in-person dermatology.
Methods: This study was a repeated-measures equivalence trial involving veterans with non-pigmented skin neoplasms.
Background: Plaque-type syringoma is a rare variant of syringoma. This benign neoplasm may be easily misdiagnosed as microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC), potentially resulting in unnecessary surgery with disfiguring consequences.
Methods: We report two cases of plaque-type syringoma that were initially diagnosed as MAC.
