Article Synopsis
- - Microcystic lymphatic malformation (MiLM), also known as lymphangioma circumscriptum, is a superficial collection of lymphatic vessels that are less than 1 cm in size.
- - It typically appears as clear or bloody vesicles resembling "frogspawn," but in this case, a six-year-old child presented with firm, skin-colored papules on the lips instead.
- - The unusual appearance of these papules without the expected vesicles creates a diagnostic challenge, making it difficult to identify MiLM based on the typical clinical indicators.
Article Synopsis
- Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a genetic disorder that typically shows symptoms in young children, including issues with coordination and visible blood vessel abnormalities on the skin.
- Individuals with A-T have a higher risk of developing cancers, particularly lymphoid cancers, but other types of cancers, like breast and gastric cancers, are also possible.
- The report discusses a specific case involving a 28-year-old woman who has A-T and was diagnosed with melanoma.
Sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder: A case report of head banging alopecia.
Pediatr Dermatol
March 2020
We present a case of alopecia associated with sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder (RMD) in an otherwise healthy 2-year-old boy. The alopecic patch he presented with on his scalp coincided with the location of repeated head banging in a video taken by the patient's mother. Alopecia secondary to RMD is an under recognized entity and should be included in the differential diagnosis of pediatric alopecia.

Their mechanism of action involves the inhibition of negative regulators of immune activation, resulting in immune-related adverse events (irAEs) including endocrinopathies, pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis and dermatological events. Dermatological irAEs include maculopapular rash, pruritus, vitiligo, blistering disorders, mucocutaneous lichenoid eruptions, rosacea and the exacerbation of psoriasis.

J Am Acad Dermatol
February 2016
Background: Few large-scale studies have quantified the burden of comorbid autoimmune diseases in patients with vitiligo.
Objective: We sought to determine the prevalence of comorbid autoimmune diseases in patients with vitiligo.
Methods: We conducted a manual chart review on a cohort of 1873 patients with vitiligo seen between January 2002 and October 2012 at the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, MI.
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major risk factor for cervical cancer.
Methods: We implemented a retrospective case-series study to discern HPV knowledge accuracy among women diagnosed with and treated for cervical cancer. Cases (n=1174), identified from the Pathology database, were diagnosed and treated for cervical cancer at the same institution.
